Slash Mobbing, Flesh Mobbing, Flash Mugging
Rich at happyrobot.net reports on the biggest flash mob yet. And you wondered what caused those blackouts. Meanwhile, anonymous organizers in Austin, Texas are preparing for the world's first Slash Mob: The Slash Mob Project is an interesting phenomenon where people gather at a determined point, kill all surrounding onlookers, and then disperse as fast as arriving, thus leaving the onlookers dazed, bewildered, and hopefully dead by what they just experienced... Dark flash mob humor isn't limited to Texas; someone in the U.K. coined the term Flash Mugging. In Montreal, "André" is trying to create a FLESH Mob: All must bring a back pack to recognize themselves and gather so as to become a small compact crowd... (I'm sure Spencer Tunick would appreciate that.) This week, flash mobs took place in Brazil and in South Africa. If a flash mob goes down in Melbourne, Australia next week as planned, Antarctica will be the only continent yet to be flash mobbed. Comments

Posted by: possum on August 16, 2003 10:23 AMWould just like to say that Baltimore's flash mob of the strongbad techno song went wonderfully. A wonderful someone managed to snag some video of it, here. Doooom.

Posted by: on September 2, 2003 03:36 AMWell first let me say I think Flashmobbing sounds fun and it seems to be a harmless way to break up the monotony of life and bring people together. Anyone who is against it is probably just a fascist arse. Also..the Austin Slashmob site on....YAHOO! is no longer there. Go figure.

Vernon NY *ahem* (thats a hint meaning come organize a flashmob in front of my highschool or the board of education to protest the Math B regents, for which we must "prove triangles and quadrilaterals," cuz we'll never use that in real life, so why must we learn it?!) k thanks bye. :-) Posted by: stacy on October 21, 2003 03:05 PMFlash-mob event held in the Los Angeles area: Date: Saturday, November 15, 2003 Bring an empty suitcase and/or a passport.
