Life imitates art
Looking at some news from Brazil, I was wondering if it wasn't a Hollywood script...
A Brazilian teenager is held hostage with a friend in an apartment by her ex-boyfriend who wants to resume their relationship. Negociations with the police starts.
That last over 100 hours. In between, the friend is released... but returns to the apartment more a less one day later. It seems that the ex-boyfriend requested her return; it's also said that the friend didn't want to leave the girl alone... it looked like he would kill her. That move is criticised by some saying that the police shouldn't let that happen.
More a less one day later, it ends. The police invades the building after hearing a shot. The existence of the shot is something with good discussions in itself, with one TV channel showing a video demostrating there was a shot and another showing the footage with no signals of a shot being made.
Ex-boyfriend arrested, friend and girlfriend shot. The latter died.
There's a better script in Portuguese here for those interested (and who can read).
Not exactly a happy ending, but it's over. At least until the trial begins, right?
Could be... except that more stuff came after it.
The best ones: the ex-boyfriend's father, who's lost contact with him 20 years ago (the boy is 22) found him after the incident. That's what he claims... Also, it was found that the dead girl's father is wanted in another State for desertion from the police and homicide. He denies and says it's a plot to "erase" him since "he knew too much".
Life imitates art all right...
Another example on that is another petition for allowing a certain kind of marriage.
Well, with some parts of the world discussing same-sex marriage, it's not a big deal, right?
But this Japanese guy wants to marry a comic character.
You know, the first thought that came to me after reading this was "Chobits". It's a Japanese manga/anime that has as one of its topics relationships between humans and... "human-like things", maybe?
I'll have to explain a little, in the story there's something called パソコン (pasokon), an android used as a personal computer (and considering the japanese word is the same used for PCs, the substitution in some parts of the story is pleasant). And there's a certain discussion on how they can be better companions than "imperfect humans" and how relationships between humans and pasocon would be. There's a woman in the story whose husband start to spend more and more time with his pasocon to the point he forgot completely about her (and if you substitute the meaning of the word as I said before it becomes interesting...). There's also a guy in the story who married one of those androids... reason for what the news reminded me of the manga/anime.
