    Genuine Flash Mobs are NOT commercials, so this one does not count as a flash mob. Like so many others that are expensive productions promoting companies, in this case ARD (?).

    I don’t care if it was a flash mob or advertising something – it was great and wonderful watching people’s faces light up with pleasure. Viva Verdi!

    All shopping centers should sponsor something like this at least once a week
