"Flash Mob" fad spread across US

[mdr55]

I saw this on the internet. At first I thought it was about a mob of Flashers showing their stuff. But it's about a bunch of people who gather at one spot to form a mob and they engage in a type of action then leave. It seems to be spreading to other parts of the country in major cities. It started by this guy sending e-mails to his friends, who then forwarded to other people to meet in a particular place to engage in some type of activity then disperse. Sounds interesting.
Here's the site:


Has anyone seen or participate in this event? Thanks.

In the latest occurrence, about 200 people converged on a Central Park ridge across from the Museum of Natural History on Thursday. Once in place, the mob tweeted like birds and crowed like roosters, chanted "Nature," and then dispersed.

Giving the unemployed, homeless and worthless something to do.

Bill said the Internet has been used to organise "flash mobs" in cities like Boston, Minneapolis, San Francisco, London, Rome and Vienna.

This would be really cool if Bill could "organise" (the British and their crazy spelling) a flash mob in Iraq to uniformly either

a.) piss on one of Saddam's statues/portraits
b.) poke Uday and Qusay's bodies with sticks, or
c.) throw rocks at the Iraqis who yell at the US soldiers to leave, while chanting "SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU UNGRATEFULL BASTARDS!", and then disperse.

I think I tried too hard to be funny.
