Re: Flash mob at DXB
Notice the logo at the end? It clearly says at the end that it's Dubai Airport that's behind it all. So claims that the airport is denying that it's a staged event are a load of crap.

Why are they advertising? Is there another way to get out apart from the airport?
Is anyone likely to say "DXB airport isn't a funky happenin place, I think I'll fly out of Sharjah instead"?

It's a Smart Mob!
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_mob the term coined in 2003, is generally not applied to events and performances organized for the purposes of politics (such as protests), commercial advertisement, publicity stunts that involve public relation firms, or paid professionals.[7][11][12] In these cases of a planned purpose for the social activity in question, the term smart mobs is often applied instead.

I liked it too.
And of course it was staged. There have been loads of 'flash mobs' advertising airports all around the world and they would have been staged too. There is no way airport security would permit such a gathering in an airport otherwise.
As for the Dubai one - it's airside which means that everyone needed a ticket (or otherwise) to be there. As no-one would buy a ticket to do this it had to be centrally planned and/ or funded.
