Flash mobs: even though it’s 2016 they are unfortunately still a thing
Dr Mumbo had naively assumed that flash mobs, the worst PR invention of the early 21st century, were dead.
But… sadly… they’re back.
And to Dr Mumbo’s horror, there is now even an agency that specialises in hiring out flash mobs. The agency, Top Secret Agent, has published this grim effort, featuring an attempt to turn Australia Day into a promotion for its removalist client John Mason International.
At the time of posting, the video has had a spectacular 25 views. And Dr Mumbo feels some guilt at doing anything which will increase that number.
Awww, Mumbrella has a sad, black heart. Why do you hate uncoordinated, happy people so much? Why?
No, they’re not a thing. They haven’t been for ten years.
Originally they were spontaneous, which gave them charm.
Now they’re embarrassingly, obviously orchestrated by unimaginative agency types, who think that confected dancing works. It doesn’t. Truly awful, and a ritual for the lame. Anyone proposing one should hang their head in shame.
Nothing more to say except ‘Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi,oi,oi’.
Please make it stop.
No. More more more!
No wait, stop!
Well, maybe a few more.
No, I can’t take it anymore.
Exhausted. I need a pinot grigio.
