Session 4 Flash Mobbing

Flash mobbing, from what I can understand was created by a dude in America, to hit the young American 'trendies'. Trendies are uber cool peeps that will do any latest trend to stay uber cool. (Let’s hope eating poop never becomes one of them!) So this guy thinks up a plan to start a new cool trend that basically points the finger at the trendies and makes a laugh of them. Well the outcome of this experiment was slightly different.
The formula to flash mobbing is that it is a secret and under cover event. Contact details of a flash event organiser are posted on the internet or flyers in certain places (usually universities). People wishing to take part would be able to contact a number by text with their contact details. Then when a flash event is about to take place, the organiser will contact all applicants with the event, time, date and terms of the event.
Flash mobbing is harmless but has the parlance of being very anarchistic.
