Sports Quote
I thought it was interesting that there's an entire sports sociology sub-division. This quotation seems to fit it.
In our society, we have things that you might use your intelligence on, like politics, but people really can't get involved in them in a very serious way -- so what they do is they put their minds into other things, such as sports. You're trained to be obedient; you don't have an interesting job; there's no work around for you that's creative; in the cultural environment you're a passive observer of usually pretty tawdry stuff; political and social life are out of your range, they're in the hands of the rich folks. So what's left? Well, one thing that's left is sports -- so you put a lot of the intelligence and the thought and the self-confidence into that. And I suppose that's also one of the basic functions it serves in the society in general: it occupies the population, and keeps them from trying to get involved with things that really matter. "Noam Chomsky"

Flash Mob in Chicago, Illinois
Just felt I had to share this with someone. I was always amazed by flash mobs and the way people react to them. They're like magic- reminding us to stop every once in a while, break the routine.
and one more... This has to be my favorite one!
Ok I don't want to fill this whole page with vids so heres some links to some really great ones in case you're still interested =)
Am I the only one who thinks we should start one of our own? I'm thinking... Hollywood Blvd.
I don't know about the demo slam
We saw some cool things on that slam sight it would be crazy to try and beat those videos in such sort time
