Slash Mobbing, Flesh Mobbing, Flash Mugging
August 15th, 2003Rich at happyrobot.net reports on the biggest flash mob yet. And you wondered what caused those blackouts.
Meanwhile, anonymous organizers in Austin, Texas are preparing for the world’s first Slash Mob:
The Slash Mob Project is an interesting phenomenon where people gather at a determined point, kill all surrounding onlookers, and then disperse as fast as arriving, thus leaving the onlookers dazed, bewildered, and hopefully dead by what they just experienced…
Join the group to find out what great ideas pop up around Austin, to show off your new fannypack, and to kill people.
Dark flash mob humor isn’t limited to Texas; someone in the U.K. coined the term Flash Mugging.
In Montreal, “AndrÈ” is trying to create a FLESH Mob:
All must bring a back pack to recognize themselves and gather so as to become a small compact crowd…
At a specific hour, all the participants will strip and collect their clothing in their back pack. Some can only wear a g-string…
All the participants will have to dress and disperse before that becomes an illegal demonstration.
(I’m sure Spencer Tunick would appreciate that.)
This week, flash mobs took place in Brazil and in South Africa. If a flash mob goes down in Melbourne, Australia next week as planned, Antarctica will be the only continent yet to be flash mobbed.
Rio de JaneiroÂ¥s FM#1 soon…

So someone’s gotta get a msg to some researching down in Antartica and tell ’em to participate 😉
Hello all,

would like to tell you that Singapore has experienced two flash mobs already… not very successful (50 at the first and 10 at the second) but the movement is still going strong…
Would just like to say that Baltimore’s flash mob of the strongbad techno song went wonderfully. A wonderful someone managed to snag some video of it, here. Doooom.

Nice pictures of a successful flashmob in the Netherlands in the city of Groningen on Aug. 17.
flash mobbing is an iliegal and mortally threatining crime it should be stopped imeadiattely!
yeah new zealnads first hauled in about 200 people!
Well first let me say I think Flashmobbing sounds fun and it seems to be a harmless way to break up the monotony of life and bring people together. Anyone who is against it is probably just a fascist arse.
Also..the Austin Slashmob site on….YAHOO! is no longer there. Go figure.
i want to be notified and i would luv to interact or help how can i get notified i want to be part of it to
i live livermore ca close to berkley and san fran i would like to be involved this is my plead please let me be the wannabe sonmbody help me
I live in Athens, Georgia. I am writing an article for a teen magazine about flashmobs. Anyone you has information they want to share, or whatever let me. I say a flashmob needs to hit the Classic City sometime soon!
dude! flashmobing seems to be really cool. i didnt know they had a real name or anything, me and my friends here in NY so stuff like that at our school, but its not quite as serious. its hella funny though. i’m actually in Mt. Vernon NY *ahem* (thats a hint meaning come organize a flashmob in front of my highschool or the board of education to protest the Math B regents, for which we must “prove triangles and quadrilaterals,” cuz we’ll never use that in real life, so why must we learn it?!)
k thanks bye. 🙂
