Flashmob hits NZ
“Flashmobbing” has arrived in New Zealand - reportedly leaving a city burger bar with a load of unwanted food to throw away.
The “flashmob” phenomenon, which is sweeping the United States and Europe, uses the internet and text messages on mobile phones to organise crowds that appear suddenly, perform prearranged mass acts and disperse as just as quickly.
About 200 people piled into Burger King in Auckland’s Queen Street and mooed like cows at lunchtime, the New Zealand Herald said, reporting the country’s first “flashmob”.
As they arrived, staff quickly prepared 100 buns, 10 chickens, eight baskets of fries and four trays of meat patties, but nobody ordered anything.
The crowd mooed like cows for a minute, then gave the staff a cheer and round of applause before leaving as quickly as they arrived.
The manager said the extra food had to be discarded, the paper said.
Mooed like cows, eh? Perhaps they should have honked like geese. Or bleated like sheep. That would’ve been far more appropriate. Idiots.
I’ve spent the last 20 minutes or so briefly browsing around a wide variety of random blogs all over the world and I’ve come to the conclusion that there are far too many-
a) whingers b) losers, and c) teenagers in the world who either hate their jobs, hate their schools, hate their exes, or all of the above, and seem to be of the belief that their To Do lists and shallow, insipid little thoughts and trivial observations which flit cumbersomely through their neurotic, piddling little minds are sufficiently interesting as to warrant written publication. Also- oh.
