NEW RULE.
External link:
On the HBO show "Real Time with Bill Maher, " each episode ends with Maher dictating a bunch of "new rules," like "no cell phones in movie theaters" or "stop patting ourselves on the back about the blackout." One of them on last night's show was:
"New rule: enough with the flash mobs. If you haven't heard, flash mobbing is the latest e-mail inspired craze where random groups of web-surfing losers arrange to all show up somewhere and do something pointless. Back in my day, we had a name for that. It was called a Star Trek convention. Flash mobs are fight club for pussies. But I guess this is what you do with the Internet when you can't find any 13-year-old girls who'll meet you at a motel"
This last overreach was followed by scattered boos from the audience.
This is The Official Record.
