— May 28, 2012 — Pop Culture

Without the handy use of video cameras and phones, flash mobs would not exist. Flash mobs are fascinating, as it is always fun to see a herd of folks participating with the same purpose in mind. Rarely do people see others in large groups sharing the same passion and moving simultaneously. Whether the flashmob is for a protest or all around fun, they are great to watch.

These videos comprise of incidents such as advertising flash mobs surprising one person to hundreds of participants that simultaneously do the same thing. One video shows a Tic Tac flashmob where hundreds of people faint in front of an unsuspecting victim.
