			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well it&#8217;s not really a Flash mob, since it was coordinated by whatever agency is doing this type of work for A&amp;E. If you are so inclined to look up the URL at the end, I&#8217;ll save you the trouble of typing it in. It is a promo for some new reality show called <a href="http://www.aetv.com/hammertime/">Hammer Time</a>.</p>
<p>I do wonder if agencies and brands co-opting this experience will taint and perhaps bring an end to the authentic community initiated experiences. Maybe instead of organizing amazing events like <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/show/?q=lightsabre+rom">the light sabre battle at the ROM</a>, <a href="http://newmindspace.com/index.php">Newmindspace</a> becomes highly paid consultants to ad agencies trying to sell their clients &#8220;experiential&#8221; or &#8220;viral&#8221; campaigns (pretentious quotation marks FTW).</p>
<p>Rant aside, I did enjoy the video.</p>
