It is a bit gimmicky, I will accept that but it will have a lasting effect as the film will be sent worldwide with all the flash mob websites around the world.

It is just rude to ask people to avoid it - the whole point is to get people down to watch it.

Gayle, I did not suggest for other people to avoid it....it was a note to myself to avoid it.
Sending this gimmicky stuff around the world on other flash mob sites strikes me as being just a bit on the tacky side.

Personally I am embarrased to think that we are stooping to such idiotic measures to get people to come into our town.

We have far better resources to come and see......and in my opinion(which counts for very little, I know)....Broadway is grotty, down at heel and not something I would want broadcast around the world.
