Flash Mobs Jump the Shark

Celebs and Media

It’s official. Last week I wanted to be in one, now it’s lame.

Glee had a fantasy sequence where a cast member dances in a mall, complete with shakey video of people taking shakey videos. How meta! I’d show a video but as soon as they go up, some copyfighter takes them down.

When celebrities slap their faces onto the front and back of a marketing flash mob, then you know it’s over:

I spied this today: Opera Flash mob (via Bear of a Man). Hey old people! If you’re all wearing buttons, you kill the effect of spontaneous contribution!

    And here I thought the flash mob/safety dance number was the best part of Glee last night!

    U mean, you really can’t shit on the show for using pop cultural phenomena like the flash mob and not shit on it for using Madonna and Lady Gaga
