It's called a "flash mob" and has been popular in major US and European cities for the last 4-5 years. If you go on YouTube you can see other examples... such as dozens of people that appear around a fountain reading the same newspaper, or a massive sing along in a plaza, or a pillow fight on a public street. It is supposed to look like it just happened out of the blue but it is organized online ahead of time. There is no agenda and it's not a protest of anything, just a fun thing for hundreds of stranger to get together to do.

I love New York! As hard as it is to live here sometimes, really cool stuff happens every day!
That is so cool!
I love the guy saying it's probably some sort of protest. What on earth did he think they could be protesting?
are you sure you aren't my sister? she sent this one, too.
That is wonderful -- I am sitting here trying to think how to set it up locally!!!
