Okay, a mental picture of Times Square now is starting to sink in. I threw me a little that you actually seemed to be complaining. I like chaos, I like costumes, I like letting the freak flag fly... I especially like beautifully painted topless women. If it's now a sort of free for all, though, with a sort of "Let's Make a Deal" vibe, lots of costumes, not good ones, and only a bit of women's toplessness... all looking for handouts... okay, starting to get it, I think. All cool possibilities get ruined by asses!
Then again, maybe the bad economy has forced some people to find a different, more engaging way to beg. I prefer the old fashioned "costume" of the homeless and destitute. That deserves a "tip"...
