Flash and Bang

FlashMobs?

The name FlashMobs could on have come from the fact that a lot of people show up in one place quickly and stand around for a few minutes. That, though, is called being a loser with too much time on your hands.

Some people have the belief that this is some amazing modern event.

Why?

You get a message to go do something boring in a couple days with a bunch of strangers. That's not modern... that's a tupperware party.

EVERY fucking person on earth but me has a cell phone. Set up phone trees and arrange these meetups only an hour or two beforehand. And the whole 'standing around' thing.... it's no longer irony. It's you trying to wear the cool clothes six months too late.

Years ago, people held sudden, unexpected parties on subway trains. That was 20 times cooler than these flashmobs.

Gather people and do something meaningful. Do something adventurous. Be pissed off and do something vocal.

When the White House threatens to invade Luxembourg, arrange massive protests within the hour, and tell InternationalANSWER to go fuck themselves and their collection bins.
