Cue mall flashmob in 3... 2...



You can sense it in much the same way animals sense danger ahead of time. You’re in a public space and things just start happening around you for no reason. Heads start turning... bodies start lining up as group dance routine is imminent – SEEK COVER IMMEDIATELY. As much as the cringe meter peaked within :05 seconds of watching this clip, I was presently pleasantly surprised with the outcome after finding out the group behind it. Redefine Christmas has more than enough celebs on its roster, but what it’s about is giving charitable donations to others instead of another Old Navy gift certificate. (Which, I’m okay with, really.) So a group of 130+ volunteer performers on three hours of preparation invaded the food court of the Connecticut Post Mall (two towns over from me ), and after their 3-minute routine finished, ended up giving away 200 donations to random shoppers. See? Flashmobs don’t have to suck. That deserves a like on Facebook. IT DOESN’T COST ANYTHING.

Is it Foursquare moment?

Propaganda to lure all them youngins' to the Broadway side?
(Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

Dad's were hoping for a stripper dance.

Moms are pissed because she's hot.

Oh please....let capitalism ring.

And I think the nun was a stripper. Cuz I haven't seen any of the nuns in my hood donning the habit for years. And thats the only schools I hang around. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
