It's a slippery slope, man. Having robots perform marriage ceremonies looks all cute and high tech, but eventually, it'll require their permission.

And here was me expecting a double of the south Korean killing-things robot.

Do you take this woman to be your lawfully-wedded wife? YOU HAVE FIFTEEN SECONDS TO COMPLY.

That's not Johnny Five. Johnny Five had an innocent, childlike heart-warming pluckiness, articulated hands with opposable thumbs and KILLER FUCKING DEATH LASERS.

He's moonlighting at Pixar apparently, too.

"After its marital duties, Tiro ... would be upgraded to perform various other functions"

Once you've got a robot which can perform "marital duties", what more do you need from it?

Maybe in Korean culture, being wedded by the forest spirit or the river spirit is what they really want, and a robot-officiant is a half-step to an animist ideal?

Alas, no. No Number 5 in this post. Until now.

CHARLOTTE AMALIE, Virgin Islands - A newlywed South Korean couple were attacked by their robot servant on Saturday. Seok Gyeong-Jae said he was shocked when the robot he design burst through the door of their honeymoon suite bedroom, "Tiro was making a high-pitched screech that I'd never heard before, and seemed to be yelling something like 'NO DISASSEMBLE! NO DISASSEMBLE!'" Seok wrestled the robot into submission with the help of his wife, and after a short re-programming session honeymoon ceremonies continued—albeit with one more participant than expected. "This opens up a whole new market for my design," raved Seok.

You wouldn't let one marry your sister, would you?
