Pointless

I've received the usual Flashmobs hogwash this month, this time:

PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 18/11/03
"The George W flashmob taking place in London on thursday
with everyone dressing up in policeman uniforms is nothing
to do with the London Flashmob group."

As Tom Smith has pointed out to me, any such assembly of 'policemen' brings just the wrong associations to mind (Benny Hill, anyone?). And I'm well aware - from past correspondence on this blog - that Flashmobs are by their nature pointless, so what would they be doing with anything of political import, however humorous?
