Take on the Times Square crazies

I caught one of those crazy jesus freaks in Times Square hamming it up with Captain America on this brutally humid day and all I could think of was, who is convincing who?
The trouble with Times Square now is that there are ten of everything, ten Elmos, ten Cookie Monsters, ten Naked Cowboys and ten Captain America's and they are all so miserably desperate for your dollars bills the entire place feels like a strip club without the fun. But they are at least sort of liked because the guy who stands all day with the "repent now" sign gets absolutely no attention and it must be killing him when he sees fifty grandmas from Ohio lining up to take a picture with Mario and Luigi or worst yet some dude in a pair of tighty whities playing an acoustic guitar

All you first time TOR readers out there will come to find out that the editorial staff here really does not like the "Muppets in Times Square" and you will be reminded of that about once a week during the summer. Every summer. Also the air conditioner sweat in NYC. They hate that, too.
