I don't know if everyone knows about Man-Faye, but hanging around on the internet in anime forums and conventions most people are bound to hear something about this guy. Yeah, he's pretty repulsive. But it's somewhat funny.
I was just watching the tonight show w/ Jay Leno and they were doing a segment on the "Who Wants to Be a Superhero" show that's coming up on Sci-Fi. There was a guy going around and interviewing people in goofy superhero costumes and lo and behold, there's Man-Faye in all his tasteless gruesome glory. He gave the whole story of who he was and how it started. They even did a little side-by-side comparison picture of the real Faye.
Guess it was kind of cool to hear Cowboy Bebop mentioned on late night TV…but er...not the best way I could imagine. :P But you take what you can get. XD
I was looking for a video clip of it, but all I could find was this on youtube...badly recorded with a camcorder and a girl screaming "omg man-faye manfaye!" so you can't really hear it or see it very well. http://www.youtube.com/results?search=tonight+show+man-faye&search_type=search_videos
