iWhat? The Weekly Poll

Last Week's Poll: Flashmobs

Last week we sought your opinion on flashmobs, those "spontaneous" eruptions of singing and bad choreography in public places, designed to draw attention to the flashmobbers a good cause.  How did the readership feel?

• 14% of you felt that flashmobs remain "a fresh and delightful way to promote various worthy causes".
•  28% declared flashmobs to be "a once amusing idea now past its best before date".
• And the curmudgeonly majority of 58% (including, it must be admitted, the editor),  felt that flashmobs are "this decade's answer to mimes".
