Here we stand, all together now, at the end of the media age

The only thing more 2009 than a Media Alert from a big PR firm about a "flash mob" to happen at Universal City Walk in support of a new Janet Jackson CD is a follow-up Correction Media Alert stating that the time for the "flash mob" will be 6 p.m., not 4 p.m. as previously stated.

There you have it.

"MEDIA OPPS," the release goes on to state, "WILL INCLUDE B-ROLL OF DANCERS SURPRISING THE PUBLIC WITH SPONTANEOUS FLASH MOB PERFORMANCE SET TO A MEDLEY OF JACKSON HITS: 'IF,' 'RHYTHM NATION,' 'MISS YOU MUCH,' 'NASTY.'”

Take some time to unpack all of that above. Take some time indeed.
