Flash mobs – stretching the definition of stunned to breaking point
Flash mobs just won’t die.
Even Playboy Bunny flashmobs.
And it’s time to start pointing the finger – at cretinous news reports that give the PR investment a return.
Or as the Herald Sun’s Angus Thompson puts it excitedly:
“Up to 100 dancers in black leotards and bunny ears previewed the decadent party at midday today when they stormed Federation Square for a “flashmob” performance.
“Stunned onlookers watched as the bunnies danced and gyrated for three minutes.”
Angus appears to have confused the word ‘stunned’ with ‘grim-faced’.
Outdated brand, outdated marketing tactic
There were children there. Will no-one think of the children?
Err – it’s not a flash mob if it’s an organised PR stunt. That’s simply, well, a PR stunt.
It’s not really a “flash” mob is it? You can see them all standing around wearing bunny ears anyway. It’s supposed to be surprising, not completely and utterly predictable…
The ‘flash mob’ has to be the bystanders eye-rolling in unison.
..and in other news, Kittens just closed down two locations in inner Melbourne.
Please STOP these type of activities it has become a cliche.
In other news king street was a ghost town today…..
that’s not a flash mob.
Someone elevate the information providors with up to date information, please.
“And it’s time to start pointing the finger – at cretinous news reports that give the PR investment a return.”
Ohhh the irony.. the irony.. it hurts..
What an outrage!
Only 3 minutes?
Diabolical…
Why the bitterness? Get over yourselves.
It’s just a staged, titilating public performance than no doubt had a great ROI compared to advertising
pedants of costume design history snort derisively at these pathetic attempts . . where is the whalebone? . . where are the fishnet tights? . . big hair? . . breast shaped breasts ?
and they forgot the little bow-ties as well . . . pathetic.
Moreover Jean, the iconic white bunny tail, collar and cuffs are all missing.
Slipping standards. Pffft.
Join my new “thing”, its to be called a “flashflog”… i am going to organise a number of people to appear wherever shit flashmobs congregate…and we are going to steal the clothes they have dumped and give them to the homeless.
If you watch to 3.30 in the clip (yes if you survive that long), you will see the first of our team at work in the right corner.
