As a tourist, I guess I didn't mind it in any of the cities I've been to around the world, but I wouldn't have expected this city to allow it to go on.

I mean this in a positive way, nothing against them, but what's so funny to me is that their costumes are, how should I say this, 2nd-tier costumes. Some feature on all of those costumes is off, whether there's some kind of copyright law to where they have to have someone "off" with the costume so it's not a 100% accurate of the costumes, but man I kept laughing everytime I walked by one.

My fault, I meant something off. And yes, thanks Joey, the costumes are just weird in some way or another.

Now that you mentioned it, there was a guy with a sign "$20 to kick me in the nuts." At least he's dreaming big by going for $20 instead of a buck or two!
