The new Heathrow Airport Flashmob by T-Mobile

by admin on October 31, 2010 7 Comments

If you were watching TV last night you will have found it hard to miss T-Mobile’s latest flashmob-based ad, which took place in Heathrow’s Terminal 5, in London.

The ad was shown simultaneously on 86 channels at 10.15pm, meaning that around one in six people in the UK will have seen it. In the event that you didn’t, here it is:

The mobile firm has a history of inviting people to flashmobs for a spot of public dancing. It then films them and turns them into ads. This one was filmed, edited and broadcast within 36 hours.

Hecklerspray hates hanging around in airports, but this would have provided some light amusement, in a Bobby McFerrin kinda way.

The T-Mobile flashmob ads have been seen by more than 26 million people on YouTube. What do you think of the latest one?

Look! Lots Of People Dancing In Liverpool Street Station

As people who regularly get infuriated to the point of violence when our morning march through the train station is held up by, say, child carol singers, we didn’t think we’d enjoy this video.

After all, it’s essentially a video of some self-absorbed bastards holding up the entire Liverpool Street railway station one morning by dancing around like bellends in a flashmob-inspired prank.

But you know what? It’s actually quite heartwarming. And, yes, it’s an advert for a telephone company, but who cares? It’s lovely. However, if they try it around us in the future, we’d like it on record that someone will end up eating their bloody shoes.
