It’s hard to run from the cops while in costume

Many people don’t know this, but the Southern Hemisphere is a weird nether region full of contradictions to the reality we call home. For example, while we’re seeing fall weather, they’re enjoying the beginning of spring, even though the calendar clearly says October. It also means that schools are letting out, and the partying may commence.

In Christchurch, New Zealand, one costume party celebrating the end of classes saw 73 arrests. People dressed as maids, genies, doctors, nurses, mummies and more all got charged for having liquor in a liquor-free zone. Also, the party went for 24 hours.

Important societal note: In New Zealand, female terminators are called “sherminators.”
