T-Mobile "dancing" advert at Liverpool Street

Did anyone see the new T-Mobile advert on C4 last Friday.

It's "flashmob" type of thing with dancing, very cool.

That's ace, and it's really well done as well. I don't know how much of that was all just actors/dactors, and how much were genuine members of the public enjoying it. The choreographed moves at the end probably suggest the former but still, quite uplifting really to see that sort of thing. Sort of sticks two fingers up at the doom and gloom economy too for us to dance in a train station without a care in the world.

Hmm I wonder what it was that was filming on the 17th when we went to the underground at Liverpool Street?

They'd had a least one rehearsal at night.

I think the bit where the old dear starts "givin' it large"

We still have the odd flash mob up here just for fun. I think the last one was in the summer in the big park in town it was a flash water fight

I love the idea behind it all but whacking a Tmobile sign on the end really kills it. Its taking something amazing, puzzeling, art on a public in your face wtf level and I just don't like the idea of comercialising it.

If it's popular someone will find a way to make money out of it sooner or later. It's a shame really.

It's been done well but I agree with where you're coming from.
