Stick with the whole length at your own choice and risk. It's reminiscent of the '00 or '04 campaigns when Chris ROCK was the Comedy Central reporter and would open each segment at a Rethug convention event with, "Once again I am the only (person of color) in the room," and some few of the "cool" of the young Rethugs would lionize him. Imagine this chatter: "Guess what we did today, SO kewl!1 We flash mobbed Poppy BUSH!1"
DISCLOSURE: It's 4:05 minutes long, repetitive, and Boot Scoot Boogie.

(26,505 posts)Well I guess I'm to blame since I actually clicked on the link. What do you call those awkward movements they were doing with their bodies?

Why did the Aggie get rid of his freezer?
He got tired of cutting the ice into little squares to fit into the trays.
Did you hear about the Aggie who got locked out of his car?
He spent two hours trying to get his wife and kids out.

(65,483 posts)It was no clumsier than any other dancing flash mob I've seen that didn't use professional dancers.
As Bill Maher said Friday, not everything is political. Slamming this little flash mob is like the way so many Republicans slammed Michelle Obama's little dance with Jimmy Fallon. IMHO, both were cute.

(70,730 posts)My dig being relatively benign, mostly aimed at the dancing Rethugs, how homogenous they appear, how self-conscious and struggling so hard to be "with it," and how they remain out of touch. That said, I would not shrink to mock Poppy, cerainly not because some believe he is just an Old Man deserving some niceness. I will alway remember his crew that died in his planes while he is labeled a WWII hero, his disappearing persona in sinister events from the original October Surprise to the JFK assassination to Iran Contra (throwing lethal rocks while hiding his hand), his B.F.E.E. history. And how wingnuts are merciless in ridiculing and malice when constantly targeting my political representatives. So, no, I don't care how old my political enemies get. I'll leave obvious examples (Nazis, whomever) to be filled-in blanks here.
