Flash Mob Proposal - Neatorama

(YouTube link)

A guy in Johannesburg hired 100 singers to stage a flashmob at a mall, all to propose to his girlfriend. I cannot understand how some shoppers are in such a hurry that they can't stop and enjoy the moment with them. Or do singing flash mobs happen every day at the mall? -via Buzzfeed

"Or do singing flash mobs happen every day at the mall?" No, they just happen every day on the Internet. They used to be novel, now they're just annoying, like that guy who keeps repeating the same joke long after it ceased being funny.

The average flash mob you see online has gotten boring, but if you saw one in real life you wouldn't be able to appreciate it at all? I'd say there's a large difference.

Not to mention this isn't an average flash mob, there is the twist that it's a guy proposing.

They're obnoxious and get in the way. I don't care what their reason is, I'm trying to shop, I shouldn't have to detour around people dancing in the middle of the walk way.

If I was in a shopping mall, I'd be much too busy trying to leave than to watch someone guy I and the people he hired to stage a performance.

Scratch that, I MIGHT watch just to see her say no!

The "twist" that it's a guy proposing makes it even more obnoxious. Most people propose in private. You have to be desperate for attention to turn it into a public spectacle and expect everyone to stop and watch. If I'm at the mall, I'm there to shop, not dodge a mob of attention-seeking performers.

100 people singing a proposal at the mall? If only they worked as hard on the marriage as they do on the proposals, maybe we wouldn't have so many divorces.

I'd be getting out of there as fast as possible, too. I'd just assume it was some choir that was gonna pass the hat next. No thanks!

Slab lol, I'm sure that's what a lot of people probably thought. Just some people singing for money... which I guess they are since I'm sure the dude paid them :P
