heya just watched 3news nightline and saw this

http://www.3news.co.nz/TVShows/Nightline/LAs-Anime-Expo-takes-place-in-the-shadow-of-Michael-Jackson/tabid/728/articleID/111479/cat/17/Default.aspx

wow that FMA alu looks incredible! plus that nightline lady added straight afta the vid "crazy americans" ...hmmmmm lmao

By commandercandyfloss. 06/07/09, 04:19 pm

Yup, saw that too. The Nightliners seem to think that cosplaying is rather bizarre.
lawl, the cosplays were amazing though

By Autumn8004. 06/07/09, 04:23 pm

yea lol do they even know much about their own country's events? XD i found it amusing how they could find a connection to Michael J though =P

lol - "another bazaar phenomenon"

Razz

By Rikki-Leigh. 06/07/09, 04:29 pm

I lol'd. As did syn and Tania.

Then we proceeded to squee at each of the cosplayers (That Yoko's contacts were awesome. And LOL.. LAAAAAMBOOOOO)

Definitely much better than Michael Jackson

By commandercandyfloss. 06/07/09, 04:32 pm

Much, much better.
I can't believe how oblivious they are to Armageddon while talking about this.

By Pura. 06/07/09, 04:32 pm

LAAAAAAMMMBOOOO~ SHOCUTE.

Someone should write to 3News saying that there's a community of 600+ people in New Zealand who do the exact same thing 8D.

By commandercandyfloss. 06/07/09, 04:33 pm

Totally should.
OR we could all cosplay and bombard the 3news studio : D

By fleyer. 06/07/09, 04:35 pm

Or we could kindly ask ~~blackmail/force~~ ginger ninja into bringing a few tv people =D she has connections

By Autumn8004. 06/07/09, 04:35 pm

Lambo's afro! XD bombard the studio!

By Pura. 06/07/09, 04:36 pm

And do a freeze while at it 8DD.

That would be awesome.

By commandercandyfloss. 06/07/09, 04:36 pm

Hehe yeah.
Ambushing them would be awesome though.

By Autumn8004. 06/07/09, 04:39 pm

they probably wont think that it's quite so bizaar in america once they realise nz's got them too...that or nz is just as bizaar =3

By commandercandyfloss. 06/07/09, 04:40 pm

or more bizarre~~

By **Duckeh**. 06/07/09, 04:45 pm

HUHRP DUHRP.
Ilold.

You'd think they'd atleast do a google search and see new zealand has cosplayers too~ O;

By commandercandyfloss. 06/07/09, 04:49 pm

I know, it's like they think nz is too "normal" for it or something

By **Duckeh**. 06/07/09, 04:51 pm

I really just think they had no idea~ C:
Anime isn't really that common, so they were probably totally oblivious to the whole hobby.

By commandercandyfloss. 06/07/09, 04:52 pm

Probably.
Sucks though, somebody should tell them.
I still laugh at them calling it a bizarre phenomenon.

By Autumn8004. 06/07/09, 04:52 pm

yep, quite tempting to react to them bout this story lol *have fun crushing their image of their beloved country* =)

By **Duckeh**. 06/07/09, 04:53 pm

Oh~ I joined up and replied with the link to these forums and a little "Huhr duhr, COSPLAY IN OUR NEW ZEALAND?!?!" but they moderate their replies~

By commandercandyfloss. 06/07/09, 04:54 pm

HAHA! go duckeh~~

By Autumn8004. 06/07/09, 04:54 pm

yay! XD

By Grassangel. 06/07/09, 04:55 pm

I was lolling as I watched it. Especially at the graphic behind the presenter in the studio. But I kind of went 'yay' at the same time, because it wasn't another Michael Jackson video.
And go Duckeh! *wonders if they will notice*

By Rikki-Leigh. 06/07/09, 04:57 pm

I had a thought just before.

Didn't C4 do a piece on Cosplay at auckgeddon in '07? C4 is owned by TV3 |Db

By **Duckeh**. 06/07/09, 04:57 pm

>.>
<.<
That C4 video doesn't exist.
