Art Museum Flash Mob Every Bit As Lame As You Thought It Was Going To Be
Look: We’re all about spontaneous expressions of joy. I mean, isn’t this site nothing but that? But something about this whole flash mob dance thing on the Art Museum steps struck us as kinda naff the moment we heard about it. The dance seemed too cheerleader-y, it invoked friggin’ Rocky straight outta the gate (isn’t the only charm of this whole flash mob thing supposed to be it’s non-obviousness?) and seriously, “Cotton Eyed Joe.” (Can we all just agree that the only tolerable usage of “Cotton Eyed Joe” ever was in Humpers?) Anyway, the AMFB went off on Saturday, and this is it. We hate to be party poopers, but we just expected… more. And better. But perhaps we’re just spoiled by the much, much better flash dance mob that was on the season premiere of Weeds. Not a bored sorority girl in the bunch on that one. And no “Cotton Eyed Joe.”

I thought it was a great idea. Who doesn’t like looking at a bunch of girls in shorts & t-shirts dancing for FREE?
