This is not cool, bbs!!!
It├óΓé¼Γäós a customary scene to find people donning costumes of super heroes and cartoon characters in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theater on Hollywood Blvd.
Recently, the LAPD has been overwhelmed with a number of complaints from concerned tourists and visitors having been pestered and nagged for tips, after taking pictures with the costumed characters.
According to sources, the L.A. City Council has stepped in and “voted to ban the cartoon character business after receiving scores of complaints.”
The ban has led to 8 arrests over the past weekend and the LAPD says it will continue to enforce this when they “have the resources available.”
Hmmm…won’t this be putting a lot of characters out of work???
Sadness!
