You know, if there's one thing that people have said about hecklerspray over the years, it's that we're too darn choosy when it comes to a prospective partner.

It's just that real-life women – what with their pesky habits of 'thinking', 'forming independent opinions' and 'not laughing at that brilliant 9/11 joke we keep telling' – often fall way below our expectations. Honestly – you'd think we would be better off marrying a completely imaginary person and having done with it.

Thank the sweet baby Jesus, then, for Marry Your Favourite Character: officially the premium site for emotionally-crippled net-dwellers the whole goshdarn world over.

Marry Your Favourite Character pretty much does what it says on the tin – you can register, choose an entirely fictional person to marry, arrange a 'ceremony' and then watch as a little box emerges on screen informing you that you are now well-and-truly hitched to your beloved. And then… erm… look at it for a while. Possibly while weeping.

Interestingly, though, it isn't only fictional blighters like Captain Jack Sparrow and Harry Potter who are riding high in the old matrimony stakes. 'Real' people like Billie Joe Armstrong and Angelina Jolie have now got literally hundreds of online spouses to deal with around the globe.

Which must be a bit of a pisser come Valentine's Day.
