Might have been recently posted. It's a long read, but so damn funny. I would love to see someone do this locally.

I found it kinda funny at first, but...did they do anything? Seems like they just caused a minor ruckus and called it a day.

This is very similiar to "flash mobs" - In my early 20s I had the misfortune of stupidly taking part in one. Esentially, it's a group of people directing a larger group of people who've decided it's funny to tinker with social scripts (i.e. we behave in certain ways in certain situations, engage in a script.)

This one wasn't very interesting - I don't see what the point of it really was. It was amusing /shrug

The one I saw was at least more interesting. At a mall in Scottsdale a group of about 30 'flash mobbers' pretended to line up for the men's bathroom. However, the hall was a L shape, we formed the line on the x axis while the z axis (past the corner, where the bathroom was) had no one waiting to use it. The principle of this flash mob was that people will line up and copy everyone else without actually going around and checking the corner. In reality there's 30 people just standing in line next to a corner with a unused bathroom. Sure enough, people began lining up to use the bathroom. This went on a good 15 minutes before security intervened.

What does it really prove though? What does it accomplish? We made people stand in line on the assumption others were waiting in line. Should they have to always be on guard and ask themselves "why would there be a random line of people standing here just to fuck with me?" What was the point of this one? That it's wrong to go into a best buy and assume the person in a blue shirt/khaki pants is an employee?

Pointless really, I still hate the fact I participated in one. The reason these assumptions work is only idiots will fuck with them for the sake of fucking with them.

This sounds like a bunch of fucking idiots that do the "STAND" commercials. Fuck you people for telling smokers not to smoke. I quit because I play college baseball, but still. All those that shove lame turth propoganda down people's fucking throats is ridiculous. Tobacco companies do not influence us or throw marketing all over the fucking world at us to smoke or they will punch our uterus. People smoke because they fucking want to and if you are going to tell people to not do something they like to do that only harms themself is lame.

Die you fucking flash mobbers.

Ummmm they went into the bestbuy and were helpful just like the real employees. The only thing people will remember is the day they went to best buy and it had a bunch of extra employees...

Damn they're really sticking it to the man.

randomguy · 05-06-2006, 10:08 PM

this is hilarious, but has been done. mainly by the legend Steve O Brien, this skinny little tyke was a friend from highschool. i watched him get fired from best buy, and he started to work at staples. i still worked at best buy and we talked shit on it constantly.....steve had about 5 shirts. not enough for a real mass attack like this but good enough. he gathered 4 other people from our highschool and they all put on the shirts and went into the store.

now when they went into the store they pretended to be employees, and dropped "fuck" constantly to every customer. some customers didnt hear it others were like "um ok". now since steve worked there and knew security this all went on for close to 40 mins before they were all chased out. what set it off was he called a woman and her 5 yr old daughter "stupid cunts" for not knowing that printers are found in the computer section not the media section.

this was possibly one of his best pranks, his best prank was his senoir prank. in highschool we had this TV news program in the morning, basically it was the pledge of allegiance followed by a short "news" intro then to morning news from students of what was going on in the school. The Media dept. did this everyday and Steve took a media class and made friends so he knew his away around the department.

so towards the end of year, he spent the night in the library, slept there. he ran upstairs to where they film the morning news at 5 am. he then proceeded to take a porno he had with him and dub each intro tape with a good 2 mins of porno. there are 6 intro tapes in a drawer. they were pre recorded intros in a drawer, each one was used randomly for the week. steve didnt know which tape would be used so he ruined them all . hahaha...so good.

he knew that when they play the morning intro they play it in the side control room, which had a lock on the door. he then set the door to lock when closed, then went back to hide in teh library.

school starts, everyone goes to first period, then to homeroom. during homeroom the pledge of alliegance goes, then the intro tape, about 30 seconds into the intro tape 3 girls come on the screen for a solid lesbian scene. shit was hawt, my teacher fell off her stool trying to turn off the tv so we wouldnt see, which we then boo'ed to her actions. however it was great, every class room this was shown and every one of them the class cheered during it. now , like he thought would happen the side control room door was closed, so no one could turn the tape off. the head of the media dept ended up running up the stairs to the department and pulling the plug on the entire main board just to shut off all the tvs. one of the best senoir pranks ever. no one knew who did it for at least a week when som fatass on his bus ratted him out , and was beat up for doing so. steve was banned from school grounds for 5 years and wasnt allowed to walk in graduation....but still got the diploma...haha fucker made out like a bandit with that punishment. no one has been able to top it since.

O'Brien Rules.
