How NOT to run a cosplay event

[the_archfiend]

One of these days - and I hope it's soon - somebody somewhere will get the idea that holding a anime-related cosplay event does not entitle you to engage in outright stupidity like this, and that you just might want to make sure that such things have been okayed in advance with the city's gendarmes before you end up finding out that they're really, really protective of expensive civic tourist traps.

Just sayin'.
