Flashmobbers: The ugly, twee, silly little children of social disobedience

If your journey home last Friday involved traversing Liverpool Street station, then you were shit outta luck. The station was forced to close for an hour and a half, from 7pm, due to 12,000 smug, self-indulgent idiots giving thousands and thousands of pounds of free advertising to T-Mobile by recreating one of their adverts. What a whimsical generation we are. And oh great, I just did a Facebook events search for 'flash mob' and over 500 results came up. I guess it doesn't matter to anyone that they were invented by some guy at Harper's Magazine to make fun of people's need to be in on the next big thing OR that they are no longer shocking to ANYONE (Even my 95 year old Great Aunt knows what they are) OR that if you go to one, you're gonna be surrounded by people like this....
