Sounds like a new Fox TV special:

When Fans go Too Far! Next on Fox! Followed by "When Anime Attacks!!"

At the masquerade....
you know there are 2 types of 'hecklers'
1. Those who enhance the masquerade by picking up on the general point of the 'cosplay' and maybe making a comment to add alittle more flair. One example @ CNanime the 'Die Duo Die' speech which had a group of people cheering the cosplayer as he ranted... to the point that he asked one to come up and show their hatred of Duo'

2. Stupid people who yell @ cosplayers, usually something mean or cold...

I hate #2.

"When anime fans go too far"
Hmm...

The first thing that comes to mind has to be "the chair." I don't know exactly where or when it started but I first heard about it from Otakon 2000. It seemed funny at first, but it got way out of hand. I heard people were using that to boo cosplayers off the stage. I know it happened at later cons and then again at Otakon 2K1. A very good example of when otaku get out of hand...

P.S. I hate the chair
