Wow, and I thought I was cynical.

Since when does dancing solve life's problems?

"I'm hungry, I'm going to dance my hunger away"

Yea, tell that shit to kids in Africa.


which reminds me...

cityvanluder 02-08-2011 09:36 PM

Wow.

back when i was in school, the way you dealt with bullying was to get an ass kicking lesson from your father then go to school and beat the fuck out of the bully. There are no words to describe how stupid this shit is.

People should just do whatever the fuck they want and stop worrying about what people think. That's why flash mobs are awesome, they're liberating.

Also, although it doesn't help per se, it raises awareness. If someone saw a flash mob and became aware of the issue at hand, and even had a giggle or two at the moment, that person is more likely to donate funds to that cause or actually do something about it.

What's the point of a reporter going to Africa and observing people starving without actually feeding them. It's the awareness that he raises.

Heres the problem:
What does dancing have to do with bullying? I'm viewing this and all I see is another typical "flash mob". How do people dancing convey the message that people are still being bullied? I understand that its kids putting this together but it doesn't change the fact that the final message isn't being communicated. I see people laughing and dancing, what does that have to do with bullying?

You say awareness, ok, maybe between this display of arm flapping and leg kicking I somewhere read "anti-bullying". What is my next step? How do you convert those viewers of this event into actual participants of the campaign? This reminds me of that "change your facebook picture into a cartoon to stop... " wtf was it again anyways?

I think alot of people saw this and thought to themselves "bullying still happens? thats awful" and then they continued shopping for the latest true religions.

TL DR:
dancing =/= anti-bullying


edit* I'm not saying "Don't promote anti-bullying", I'm saying "If you're going to promote anti-bullying, make it meaningful to me/us"

edit2* and oh god don't anybody say "well we're talking about it now so it must mean that its working"
