What is a Flash Mob?
A Flash Mob is a large group of people who gather in a usually predetermined location, perform some outrageous action, and then quickly disperse. The first Flash Mobs took place in New York City and has since been replicated worldwide, including Singapore. In fact, the present M1 TVC shows a Flash Mob 'clucking' as chickens at Raffles Place, to the utter bewilderment of a camera-holding Japanese tourist. View it at http://www.m1.com.sg/M1/flashmob/index.html.
