No, but people wanting to get what they want can be regardless. ComiCon has all sort attending and I wouldn't trust some of those people to behave as fr as I could throw them.

Rather then start a new topic I'll just stick this here... I haven't actually checked the linked video, but based on the souce I assume it's what it says it is.

And yes someone in Hall H was stabbed in the eye when he took the seat of someone else. They stopped the programing, everyone in Hall H had to remain in there because it now was a crime scene.. it was a big mess. Of course rumors fly and no one really knows what exactly happen. But here are a few people who jumped at the opportunity to get a laugh.

And did they get a laugh? I suspect the reception to that particular stunt would be a little mixed so soon after the incident itself.

Welcome home BTW!
