Carla Beauvais at Groupe Style Communications tipped us just in time to catch today's "flash mob" tribute to Michael Jackson. As you can see (but unfortunately can't hear) the MJ hits were pounding, the inner crowd was sweating, and this photographer left his questionable talent at home. The head count was 350, including such movers and shakers as Quebec government cabinet minister Yolande James.
Answering the call of international Michael Jackson Tributes held in Stockholm, Taipei, Amsterdam and Paris, a local group called Armistice worked secretly behind the scenes (And maybe got flash permit! -- Chimples) to prepare an elite set of dancers to pay tribute to the song, Beat It. The group, joined by hundreds of good sports and media types who were in the loop, assembled at 1:45 p.m. today, and -- true to flash mob principles -- was dispersing barely 15 minutes later (see above), after a few bonus tunes. (And here's some video.)
Wow. So relevant. He died the day after St. Jean. It took over a month to organize a "flash" mob.

Dear J.,
the world is filled with people like you. You fail at being decent, and it's really too bad.
