I couldn’t resist posting this video. It was shot today at the University of Mississippi’s student union (yes, that would be my alma mater). The flash mob phenomenon has received some negative publicity lately when it comes to the riot sort, but this YouTube clip shows the fun and innocent side of a flash mob.
Judging by the coordination involved in something like this scene, I don’t think there is any way it was just by chance. It had to be a result of a quick social media flurry. The first few frames of the video include only a few students, who jumped out of their chairs and began a “Jai Ho” breakout from out of nowhere, but as the scene progresses, there are more and more people joining in the ruckus. I’m sure a few of them just happened to walk by and know the dance moves.
Check it out for yourself. Make sure to watch the entire video to see the size of the event and some funny shots as well. Notice the poor guy in the right foreground. He was just trying to eat his lunch, and this crazy dance mob broke out. Also, there is a guy on the right side at one point that didn’t even bother to rid himself of his backpack. Enjoy!
