Woman getting married to fairground ride
Amy Wolfe, a US church organist who claims to have objectum sexuality, a condition that makes sufferers attracted to inanimate objects, plans to marry a magic carpet fairground ride.

This follows a "courtship" of 3,000 rides over ten years with the 80ft gondola ride called 1001 Nachts.

Miss Wolfe, 33, from Pennsylvania, will change her surname to Weber after the manufacturer of the ride she travels 160 miles to visit 10 times per year, according to reports

“I love him as much as women love their husbands and know we’ll be together forever,” she said.

Miss Wolfe first fell for the ride when she was 13: “I was instantly attracted to him sexually and mentally.

“I wasn’t freaked out, as it just felt so natural, but I didn’t tell anyone about it because I knew it wasn’t ‘normal’ to have feelings for a fairground ride.”

Ten years later, she decided to go back to Knoebels Amusement Park to declare her love. She now sleeps with a picture of the ride on her ceiling and carries its spare nuts and bolts around to feel closer to it.

She claims to believe they share a fulfilling physical and spiritual relationship and does not get jealous when other people ride it.

Although she faces discrimination from employers, most of her family and friends have been supportive. “I’m not hurting anyone and I can’t help it," she said. "It’s a part of who I am.”

I am in the library at York Tech right now and just got yelled at because I have been uncontrollably laughing at that video for about 3 minutes...If I get kicked out I will hold you solely responsible, Jon.

Is this for real? I just can't help but think this is some sort of joke...

EDIT: It certainly isn't a joke. Here is the extended version of the clip of her watching the video of the ride. It gets REALLY strange around 4:50 when she goes and visits the ride in the offseason.

Just when you have thought you have heard it all and saw it all. there is always something that makes you say to yourself, 'What in the HECK?' I am not even going to touch these for what I was going to say would be deleted but I just have one question is where does she buy the condoms for the ride at?

I call dibs on the 2010 hyper. :D

I'm KIDDING. Thanks for posting this, and reminding us that we're completely sane (by comparison.) :)

When I watched the video, it was more sadness to me than laughter ...
She honestly believes that ride will give her more love than a person ...

A life without true love is like no life at all ...
It just seems so wrong that people can turn out like that ...

Anyways, thats my thoughts on it lol ...

Words can not really describe this. I had not really read the whole thing but when I got this far in the article I read this and said what in the living heck is going on here.


Incredibly Amy says she has great sex life with 1001.

A picture of 1001 adorns her bedroom ceiling and she says: "I use photos of 1001 to help me in private.

"We could never have sex where he lives because it's public and it would be indecent."

Amy added: "1001 makes me happier than any human ever could."
