And now, for your, er, um... viewing pleasure? (No, that can't be right.. o_O; ), we have an impromptu demonstration of Hot Yaoi Actiontm, featuring Zot (appearing as Joe Higashi from the Fatal Fury video game series) and KenshinKen, a.k.a. Kenny (appearing as Boys #13 Yuuchirou Takiguchi from Battle Royale) (Note: I was able to ID KenshinKen and who specifically he was cosplaying from BR only after careful analysis from Cosplay.com pictures, the Ani-Magic BR gathering section of Cosplay.com, and his weapon, thanks to this page. I like to get details straight whenever I can. ^_^; Now I know a new face! Yay!) Anyway, here we go with the pick up...

... and the subsequent carrying into the waves, but... wait!

No, wait, I'm sorry, we changed our minds! Now Yuuchirou's carrying Joe! When will the madness end?
