The Cellar - View Single Post - 7/30/2003: Net-organized mob silliness

One of these days, we're going to do my sheep poetry-inspired plan...

Hey, they're going to be at Morimoto tomorrow here in Philadelphia, imitating Chairman Kaga from Iron Chef.

I like the actions, in the sense that they're just silly. Now I don't know if this is "the next social revolution" (apparently from Howard Rheingold's book), but if they aren't doing anything illegal, what's the harm?

Problems I see with this whole concept:

--Groupthink
--One-upsmanship
--Reaction of those around them
