Protip: real-life carjacking is bad.
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!

Hm, the selling my soul bit would be on my list too if I hadn't sold it for a cookie back in high school. ~_~ To be fair, it was a GOOD cookie.

Good cookies are good.

I got connections so I could fly standby to the nearest airport and then stay in one of those one room places and then fly back. If that plan doesn't crack out I'm not a half bad sailor so could pirate a boat and then sail to japan.
...
I like plan two better.

This Con reminds me of that episode of Lucky Star. I would go but, the lineup's going to be hectic like TGS.

OkazukiIchigo: I don't think it's hectic "like" anything. I can't think of an event that has as many people in one place at one time @.o
