The Top 8 Signs Your Flash
Mob Event Isn’t Going as Planned

8> The proliferation of “Star Trek” uniforms confirms that in your zeal for getting Wesley Clark elected president, you may have been promoting the wrong Wesley.

7> It’s not really considered a “mob” if it’s just you and your mom.

6> There was a larger crowd for the latest Blue Light Special than there was for your “Free Martha” event at K-Mart.

5> A huge crowd has formed and the media is broadcasting it live, but you’re the only person who followed the directions and actually showed up naked.

4> You scheduled it for the middle of Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras.

3> Your grandparents politely decline, explaining that “flash mobs are so five minutes ago.”

2> Everyone chickened out at the last minute, except for Janet and Justin.

and the Number 1 Sign Your Flash Mob Event Isn’t Going as
Planned…

1> It’s 21:45 and you’re beginning to think your advert “Time: Saturday, 21:00. Place: Library Roof. Action: Study Statistics III for four hours then disperse” wasn’t such a great idea after all.
