Song meanings and origins
Neko_Ali:
I don't know. I wouldn't mind White Wedding to be played at my theoretical wedding. But then I'm a huge fan of Billy Idol. :)
Thrudd:
White Wedding by Billy Idol. Despite rumors to the contrary, this song is not about Idol's actual little sister. "Little sister" is slang for girlfriend. He is singing about a woman/girl he loves marrying someone else while he still loves her.

I can lay good odds that his phones automatic spelling correction did that.
The original thought behind the post?
That lump of modified fats behind the eye-holes fault.

POW's Cyborgs masquerading as AIs because full conversion has an even bigger mess of social issues to deal with.
Oh crap - that would be even more of a twist if Bubbles is a full conversion 'Borg [volunteer due to comparability, health issues, lack of close family and required security clearances] and the trauma of loosing her squad had her slip into the illusion that she is an AI like in that one anime I can't think of the name at the moment.

What the absolute fuck? That's literally the LAST thing "little sister" should be slang for! Also I have no idea how that interpretation is backed up by the lyrics.
Even if it's not literally Billy Idol's sister, the protagonist of the song is clearly* singing to his little sister or close friend lamenting her shotgun wedding.
*clear to me at least, although my interpretation might not be the best one
Method of Madness:
@Morituri - Heh, no problem.
@spin- Those aren't much better, but...little sister? (shudders)

I'd argue that the power imbalance inherent in a parent-child sexual relationship makes in way more squicky than a sibling one.
