Turns out that the cosplayer pictured below has garnered enough laughs to go viral. Real name is unknown and as for his, er, cretaion–like they say, there’s no accounting for good taste.

| Uh Oh: Doomsday Clock Is Set To Almost-Doomsday Posted: 12 Jan 2012 10:40 AM PST On Wednesday the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists (BAS) moved their symbolic Doomsday Clock a minute closer to midnight, which should get people nervous if this were still the Cold War. However, in absence of a possible nuclear showdown, the worrying move was supposed to shine a light on contemporary issues. The first is the BAS’ age-old concern over nuclear proliferation, which it thinks has not received enough action other than promises among nuclear states. The second bone it wishes to pick is climate change–unless global industry changes course, BAS claims within five years a whole lot of awful is coming humanity’s way.
