"Flash Mobbing", the latest trend,,,

[Corey]

Oh those whacky kids http://www.wordspy.com/words/flashmob.asp pretty soon some advertiser will use this in an ad and it will become instantly uncool on every level. Or is it already? (http://www.flashmob.com/)

Flash mobbing was uncool on every level from first concept.

[Corey]

Rats! And I just got it tattooed... Man...

I'll have to get it changed into "SPlash Moby" or something I guess... Now that you mention it I wonder about "that first concept" for this. Any way you slice it, as you say, it wasn't pretty. It reeks of "community college marketing graduate"...

"community college marketing graduate"...


That is to funny!!! Reminds me of Adam Corolla.

[eric_darling]

That someone thought it was a good idea originally can't even compare with the idea that others joined in the stupidity.

Surely this was the work of a mail order degree (http://www.instantdegrees.com/main.htm) candidate. Some charity to the community colleges, please. :)

[Corey]

Agreed. I actually didn't mean to denegrate CC grads them so much as poke fun at the manifestations of their initial idealic enthusiasm.

As to Corrola, I rarely indulge but I must admit Crank Yankers (http://www.comedycentral.com/tv_shows/crankyankers/), at its best moments, is as funny as it gets. Willy doing customer service at UPS, Boomer and the Nudge doing the "Phone Zone", and Special Ed phoning AOL support are all classics...
