I always laugh when I read this in the paper.
Edmonton has its annual "Animethon" Japanese animation festival next weekend. First plug appeared in today's paper. Anywho, they mentioned that there'll be a costume contest, or "cosplay," to use the Japanese word.
Now, why does this make me laugh?
When I was in Japan, I only heard the word "cosplay" in connection with porn.
You know, movies where the starlets are dressed as cheerleaders, or strippers with a whole nurse motif, stuff like that.
I constantly wonder if something was lost in translation....
