      No joke.

      I’m a Waterford Blaa man myself, but could happily move on to the flowery, soft, cosplay gear soon.

    That looks like tremendously good fun. Why was it controversial?

      The controversey was on the part of a few people who think that adults should only enjoy themselves certain ways.

        Oh right, thanks!
        What’s the acceptable way to enjoy yourself as an adult these days?
        Water protesting?
        Not going to Mass?
        Keeping the Ostrich burgers down after too many dad Yokes at Electric Picnic?

          i think its along the lines of shouting at the referee on the tele. Pints, but only Guinness, Heineken or Carlsberg and racism.

            Ah… If your asking about what I think of comic con/Cosplay, I am reserving judgment because I have no direct experience of it. My jerk reaction though is a bit negative, whether thats due to prejudice, or due to thinking that the whole seems worryingly superficial/shallow as an artistic endevour. (Worrying because of its popularity and the extent that people immerse themselves in said superficiality.) But
            as I said before, reserving judgment. It’s an uninformed reaction.

            If your asking me about what I think of sport jersey people, somewhere along these lines:

            I’ve a lot more experience of this world. Though my opinion of this could be coloured by the fact that I am shit at sports.

            Also I have concerns, more in relation of the American comic con, of it being highly corporatised. And all the bullshit that comes with that. I suspect (again from no experience of the thing directly) that said world might be seductive but ultimately unhealthy to be around.
