It's gone too mainstream to be funny any more.

Memes aren't funny when normal people know them.

Maybe i'm getting too old for this but memes are rarely funny full stop.

Oh and don't flashmobs become a bit self defeating when half the country know it's going to happen in advance?

I just emailed the entire London Office warning them about this (our office is across the road from the station) and no responses..well one saying 'You're so silly!' and another totally irrelevant, thanking me for doing something for them.

:/

Boring!

I missed it :/

Loads of people in the station though.

Just got back from Go Karting and introduced myself to James Caan, who's first response was 'Oh yes you are the person who emailed at 5pm about the Rick Astley thing'

Few videos already up on YouTube but they're pretty lousy. :/

Showing up under BBC London News too but no video there.
