Meaningless activities

Found another totally meaningless site. There's this funny superhero-type character that dances to this totally irritating ringtone.

I think these westerners (looks like Americans) really have nothing better to do. But then again, it's also quite amazing how they are willing to just let go and do silly stuff like this.

Click here to take a look.

Actually, one of the things which I found interesting was the idea of flash mobbing. It's where people receive smses or emails which tell them to go do something somewhere at a designated time. The example that comes to mind is the M1 advert where peopl receive smses and turn up to do that chicken dance together. As long as it doesn't cause a public nuisance, I think the idea of flash mobbing is quite interesting. It's just a group of people spontaneously coming together to do something together. One example is as follows:

"The latest flash mob incident occurred at 6:01 p.m. on Friday in Berlin, where about 40 people in the middle of a busy street took out their mobile phones and shouted, "yes, yes!" and then applauded, according to The New York Times. "

Something silly, but i dunno.. quite fun too. BUt i think the chances of it happening in Singapore are pretty low, coz we're simply too self-conscious. Anyone out there want to try organising one?
