I was critiquing more the decision to post yet another flashmob. Just because it's kids (and they seem old enough to do something more interesting than a single song to a single dance) doesn't make it more interesting. And certainly not "newsworthy" (or "blogworthy, as the case may be).
I'm not sure why people who organize flash mobs at this point think that they're somehow cool or different. Some of them clearly display some degree of original thought (besides the choreography), but just dancing in a public place has been done to death already.
I posted it not because it is a flashmob (I stopped posting flashmobs a very long time ago), but because it is RBS. RBS gets, or used to get, a fairly decent amount of bad press, mostly undeserved and a lot of the bad reputation is in the form of oy l'rasha oy l'scheino - being neighbors with RBS B doesnt help our reputation. This flashmob, as outdated and poorly choreographed as it might have been, still shows RBS as not such a stuffy place, people can have fun here, and is therefore blogworthy on LII.
A 5+ minute bunny hop (and a slow-developing one at that)? Pretty lame as far as flash-mobs go, and even good ones have long become cliche.
ReplyDeleteAre you serious? You feel the need to critique a children's flashmob? The kids had a great time. Sorry it wasn't entertaining enough for you. Sheesh.
