Not having been to the Big Apple in about 30 years, I didn't know that people cosplaying on Times Square as superheroes and such was a thing. This journalist decided to spend a whole day as a Mutant Ninja Turtle to see what it was like. I don't care for his language, but it is a fascinating story:

Apparently they're mostly from Latin America, it's a terrible, boring job, it's almost impossible to make any money, and you have to get dressed in public restrooms. And the local Captain America is as nice as you would hope he would be. And he's originally from Peru.

This makes me not want to visit Times Square. Honestly, it makes me not regret having only been to New York City that one time.

Egad, it sounds horrible and...and yes he writes using a lot of swear words.
