That's an interesting comment for a day whose proceeds went to charity. It would seem that the plaintiff would have preferred that the donations to charity be limited for his own self benefit of having shorter lines. <<< [Regarding Aichi Expo in Japan] But once lines started forming at more and more exhibits and the media reported it, people arrived, thus creating longer lines and more coverage of these lines. The Japanese term for this phenomenon is gyoretsu no dekiru, an adjectival phrase that means "able to create a line of people." When it's used to describe something like a restaurant it automatically imbues the restaurant with a glow of success that draws more people, which in turns draws the media and thus creates even longer lines. Many Japanese people don't mind patronizing businesses that are over-crowded because the lines validate their patronage. >>> Hmmm... Perhaps kind of like a certain gyoza sausage bun cart?
