"Morons on parade," said Bose demonstration specialist Airika Sneve, who watched with a radio in hand ready to call for help. "What's the point? To me, it's like mass hysteria. I'm stunned. I'm stunned. I don't know what to say."

well parades are usually a spectacle in motion, so WHO'S THE MORON NOW, ASSHOLE?

I've heard of similar stuff, yes

"I'm glad they came peacefully," Sneve said. "I was a little worried. I was worried they were going to taunt us and insult us. This is the weirdest and most random thing that ever happened in my life."

This guy needs to get out more if that's the weirdest and most random thing he's ever seen.

The idea is kinda neat, although watching five minutes of LotR in a store isn't exactly the best use of such an idea.

there was a story of a flash mob in NYC going to a fancy hotel, gathering in the lobby, applauding for 30 seconds, then just walking away... that is my favorite.

yeah, the examples in that linked article are kinda weak compared to better stuff I've heard about

 

[deadair]

yea... it is... but it explains the idea at least

I always thought acting out one of those stupid Subway commercials would be awesome.

i read about it on dailyrotten last night, but i hadn't heard of it as a "trend" before that.

 

[chupe666]
