NEWS: Young Japanese Thieves Call Themselves "Kaito Kids of

[ProfParanoia]

So I take it CNN would look down on my Sherry Poison Production Agency of Syracuse.

I stopped reading the CNN article when the first sentence compared cosplaying to MARRYING AN ANIME CHARACTER. THERE'S KIND OF A BIG DIFFERENCE THERE YOU MORONS.

...

*continues reading*

It uses Wiki as a source for info, tremendous.

A shame as the rest of the article is surprisingly ok.

The author actually didn't compare the two--they didn't even equate them. Instead, they simply mentioned them in the same sentence in terms of, "If you are passionate enough about a character, you may either dress up as them or marry them." Hardly sacrilege or some egregious slant on the entire scene.

They also didn't "use" Wikipedia as a source. Using something as a source and providing a link to a page on Wikipedia to ease readers into facilitating further information if they so wish are two completely different concepts. Hobby and fan sites that are Conan or Kid-centric will hardly be as useful to the general reader of a CNNGo article as would the mainstream-focused Wikipedia article. It's not the ideal source of information for hardcore fans such as mostly everyone here (I'd recommend the DCW one for this demographic), but it's certainly the sort of article you would use to introduce someone completely unfamiliar with the source material to it.

It's a well-written article. Moving on~

good point I suppose. I probably wasn't thinking as I'm used too used to articles about hobbies I like on news sites to be insta-facepalm.

Anyway Filipinos there if you heard Kaito Kid of Philippines it's me.

[break]

I blame last year's Kaito Kid marathon.

Kaito Kid in Conan movie
Kaito Kid in the manga
Kaito Kid special
Kaito Kid in the anime
Kaito Kid in Conan OVA

Though they didn't follow Kaito Kid's teachings. They didn't announce on their intentions and they didn't return the money back after they stole it.

Yeah. they should follow kaito. Lyk Robin hood

What is this I don't even!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How dear they make fun of Kaitou KIDS Name. They Must Die >:D >:D >:D

[Found]

I can't believe they call themselves Kaito Kids when they don't at least respect the character's principles. I'd be more upset if I find out they hurt someone.  >:(

This.

And were they dressed up in white?
And they got caught?

I'm raging less because they got caught.
... still jerks, though.
