Police arrested a man in Burlington, VT for allegedly organizing a mass public pillow fight. The man apparently got word out about the pillow fight via Facebook. The rules were simple, bring a soft pillow to Church Street. Wait for the signal and start to swing. About 50 people participated in the event.
In an era when we're fighting 2 wars and people are stressed out over the economy, what a great way to reduce your aggression. Get a sense of humor. It's not like they are blocking traffic. It's a pedestrian walkway. Besides, stranger things have happened on Church Street in Burlington.
The best part of this story is there is video of the fight.

I love this story, because it's also about social networking, communication, and the speed of information.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! What's funny is none of these people would stick out as odd holding a pillow on Church Street.
