Protip: real-life carjacking is bad.
The world's biggest convention devoted to comics of any kind, Comiket (yes, it's bigger than Comic Con-- almost four and a half times bigger, AND it happens twice a year), has had its 75th gathering underway in Japan this weekend. For those not familiar, the enormous convention is devoted almost entirely to fan-made doujinshi, although some manga and anime publishers give away some freebies and things.
Anyway, it's a big deal. Such a big deal, in fact, that Canned Dogs reports on an 18-year-old man who actually hijacked a 65-year-old woman's car at knifepoint in order to get there. Yeah, way to make anime geeks look good, moron.
Now, I would do a lot of things to get to Comiket one of these days, but carjacking isn't one of them. Like, I'd pay a bunch of money, or maybe sell my soul. But carjacking old ladies? Yeesh!

I like plan two better.
