Yeah, cause everybody wants to see a bunch of sad bitches and gay men dance in a train terminal in a foreign country. How riveting.
Nice cheerful vid 🙂
Reminds me of the improv everwhere stuff
Those wacky, Belganians.
Julie Andrews always well be a babe
Of course it was planed, well rehearsed had cameras on tripods all over. In a musical as the story progress people will suddenly hear music and start singing and dancing in lavish locations. For the rest people in the Train Station that day real life was a musical. I don’t care if they were promoting some thing or a twitter/cell text ring of folks all showing up at the same time to do something as if it were spontaneous. Whatever the motive it is Art of the First-order
T-mobile already did this in Liverpool Street station in London, UK.
It’s great to see Europeans showing their individuality, although as usual they all end up marching in step.
Annoyed? Who? Show me a single frown.
What does dancing in a train station have to do with hunting, skinning and drinking the blood of a female deer?
i dont know…made me smile.
Wow. Yeah. They were so annoyed, what with all that smiling, clapping and stuff.
Is it a slow news day or something that you have to make up a story for this?
That was thoroughly enjoyable.
Unfortunately, not likely to happen in this country – at least not without someone getting tasered.
#11. Yeah, I pretty much just made it up. Did it get your attention?
OMG! It’s….the …. terrorists!
How awful….
The who point of that exercise was to be more annoying than John C. Dvorak . . . It failed. Youth and exuberance will always fail against old age and treachery.
there was another video on youtube about a year or so ago here on the blog with some play company dancing around an airport doing a mini play anyone got the link please post it up im looking 4 it cant find it!!! thnx!!!
Who was annoyed? Looked like everyone was having fun. Take a pill, McCullough.
That was completely awesome. There have been a few of these type of stunts, evidenced by the related youtube videos.
Undoubtedly they brought joy to the onlookers that day. Why the hate, McCullough?
Meh
#13McCullough….
Oh oh…somebody didn’t find an Easter Egg 🙁

You’re welcome.
ROTFL – It’s the new Rick Roll
Let’s see if this is a terrorist activity:
1) Surveillance
Check. They had to know the layout.
2) Seeking Information
Check. They had to be able to get everybody into the area unnoticed.
3) Testing Security
Check. They did this when only two security guards were in the area. At least I only saw two on the video.
4) Acquiring Supplies
Check. Cameras, urban clothing, etc.
5) Suspicious Behavior
Check. Dancing to Julie Andrews!!!
6) Trial Runs
Check. Looked like they rehearsed to me.
7) Getting into position
Check. Line dancing.
Yep. Terrorists.
Fun! It needed a relevant song, though. Something, safe, fun but current.
Feist, maybe?
Good one Liberty Lover!
A guy I know was a “watchful employee” who noticed those suspicious brown guys on the Washington ferry which set off a national alert Maybe you remember the story:
http://tinyurl.com/cha8mx
After it was all over, I asked him if he REALLY, HONESTLY thought those guys were terrorists. He kept waffling. I pushed him on that point until he got angry.
Anyway, I strongly suspect that it was racism rather than their behavior as the FBI claimed.
Repeated rides? It’s a ferry, for cripes sakes! Taking pictures? Standing around looking at the boat? Talking quietly to your friend? EVERYBODY does this. I do this. You would do it.
But if you’re Arab-ish and do this, it’s “suspicious.”
IS it me or did the title of this article change from a positive one to a negative one over the days?
Good one #23!
This sort of stunt is getting so tired…
Two thoughts…
(1) At 1 point near the end it struck me as similar to the North Korean Arirang Games.
(2) I couldn’t help but contrast this event with the previous post “Why The Terrorist Have Won” (http://tinyurl.com/d7o7d5). Almost everything the people in the event did triggered the “7 Signs Of Terrorism”. Sadly, I can’t help but think that planning such an event at NYC’s Grand Central Station would trigger a massive police response.
Had to stop it as soon as Julie started singing.
If I wanted wonder bread fluff crud I would have popped in Bambi took some oxycodone and dressed in white shoes with a zippered pastel sweater.
I just threw up a little.

I love poeple bringing art to the people. It is even okay that it is usually sponsored or part of an ad campaign.
Yes, this can go too far if it becomes just commercial with no artistic value. Even with the hokey song, this hasn’t crossed the line for me yet.
