I thought it was great. I actually got to laugh for a change instead of always worrying about the economy!

There sure are a lot of sticks-in-the-mud around here.

No joke, baldi… Sheesh.

I thought this was funny as heck, and I KNEW what it was advertising. No wasteage of tax dollars. No connection to Obama. Just clean silly fun, in support of a new tv show.

Lighten up, folks.

Are these sort of people included in the reported unemployment numbers?

Because anyone with a job doesn’t have time to engage in this sort of crap.

These are some of the jobs Obama created.

This is hilarious. Would love to see it or even do it. The looks of incredulity on people’s faces are priceless.

Lighten up, Allah. There is a place for perfect choreography and good taste, and then there is the place for the belly laugh. Belly laughs = okay.

It wouldn’t be funny if it were in fashion.

Irving still hasn’t found that cash drawer. Those parachute pants can be awfully convenient.

Harmless, but stupid. Flash mobs are for lemmings.

I see no harm in that. It isn’t like they were expressing a political view to a captive audience.

Every one of those pair of pants was made from the skin of thousands of tiny gold lame’ fish (sea kittens?) who had to perish so that selfish humans could foolishly gyrate.
Merciful heaven, where is PETA when we need them so desperately?
Seriously though, it appears that life and property were not harmed and it was just an exercise in silliness. We will need more of those in the days and weeks ahead to keep our minds off reality.

That was pretty fun. :)

The Mr. and Mrs. Grundy’s need to just chill out. Try wearing shiny gold pants, you’ll feel better.

This is the sort of thing that makes me think well of my fellow man--watching the reactions of the crowd makes me smile. I've always been partial to Matt, although the Antwerp Train station someone else posted is way up there now.

Only one question, How does one get on a flash mob list?

Hang out at Huffington Post, Indymedia or Craigslist.

I’ll definitely give “Hammertime” a view or two since this season of “Gene Simmons” and “Jon & Kate” are really disappointing.

That was great! Gosh, I didn’t realize flash mobs were still “in”…

If I’m wrong about the afterlife, this is what hell will be like. Except the “break it down” part will go on forever, until you go mad from the synchronicity of twirling gold lamé balloon pants and chilling demonic cries of “oh! oh!”

Don’t forget that Twilight Zone episode where the biker dude ends up in somebody’s pink living room looking at vacation slides … he realizes he’s in Hell and the angel tells him, “For some people this is Heaven”

Fantastic! I can’t believe the store’s customers didn’t even applaud. Those people put on a great performance, put some smiles on other peoples’ faces, and lightened up a gloomy day. They deserved a Standing O!
