Is there ever a good Flash-Mobber story?
DAMN RIGHT THERE IS!


Flash-Mobbers Dance for a Trevor Project Cause



A flash mob that burst into choreography for "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" at Universal CityWalk in Los Angeles this weekend was a reminder from the Trevor Project that someone who cares is always nearby.

The well-organized and spontaneous event kicked off National Suicide Prevention Week by catching passersby off guard.

"If you need me, call me," the song says. "No matter where you are, No matter how far, Just call my name, I'll be there in a hurry."

The dozens of flash-mobbers sported matching tees that read "Talk to Me," and following the impromptu performance, a massive video monitor above them delivered a message from Glee's Kevin McHale urging people to encourage kids to "talk to me."

3. No such thing as a bad flash mob...
this is a flash mob. They might have a liberal message. How do you get people to be against such a beautiful thing? Oh I know lump them together with flash looters, I don't think anyone thinks flash looting is a good thing.

4. A flash mob
is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and sometimes seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, artistic expression or—in some cases—violence. Flash mobs are organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails.
