New York Mob#6

O Mighty Lizard, what is thy command?!

We are gathered here [Toys R Us, Times Sqaure], some one thousand of thy humble servants ready to do thy will.

Roaarrrrr

No, O Great One! Do not be displeased with us! We have read Your word; we have heard Your command [Whenever it roars, moan and cower behind outstretched hands]. We lift up our hands and offer You our praise and supplications.

Roaarrrrr

Aarrrgghhh!!!

This one is going to be hard to beat. There may not have been 1,000 of us, but there were certainly more than 500 crowded into the Jurassic Park exhibit in the Toys R Us mega store on Times Square. The numbers were truly 'uncountable' given the nature of the space.

This was my first flashmob, and it was WAY fun. I'd totally do it again.

Stupid security though, why'd they have to turn off the T-rex?

Looks like New York's best one yet - it was on Sky News tonight!

And, I believe, it made it onto the BBC 6 O'Clock News.

they turned off the t-rex because you're a bunch of losers who were intimidating the staff. stop being so bloody selfish!

You may want to take a look at these entries. He's vulgar, but makes some good points, especially in the second post.

Funny to read... but guess what? I'm laughing AT you.

You really should all stop and take a good look at what the f*** you are actually doing - WHY?

There is NO POINT, so STOP BEING LOSERS.

I love it :D Keep up the good work guys...
And to those saying stop - why? On the logic of there being "No point so don't do it" I think you could basically cut out half the world and leave the rest to take their own lives...because, in the grand scheme, there's no point ;]

I love you guys.

sorry, but i just wanna adress all the negative stuff this got. guys posting these comments-ever heard of FUN?i dont know how you managed to not grasp the purpose of flashmob. if you looked at ANYTHING other than your own boring existence, you might notice that there is no point in what flashmob does-random, spontaneous behaviour for no apparent reason. if you have trouble spelling NO or PURPOSE, email me and i will gladly help.otherwise, keep out of it, its none of your business unless you like it or have reason to go against it (and i dont remember anyone getting mauled by the t-rex.)

keep it up randomers!

we saw it here in greece too!It was so funny!It wasn't stupid!Go guys!

We need to do a flash mob here in DC. I'm sure all the massive security won't be too much of a hindrance....if we were to pick the right place, like...say....the new Ikea store in College Park, MD.

Flashmob your mates with alternative greetings cards and birthday cards!
