DESPERATE SILLY SEASON STORY WATCH

"Flash mobs" -- inane and pointless...but that doesn't stop them being the weekend's hot news topic:

CS Monitor: Synchronized, collective, and so far pointless
Guardian: 'It's like Fight Club'
CNN: 'Flash mobs' spread to Europe
NY Times: Flash mobs: summer silliness spread worldwide

It can surely only be a matter of time before this human form of chain-letter is utilised to instantly rustle up vigilante mobs at the home or court case of suspected child molestors (and paediatricians who are mistaken as paedophiles.)
