I have seen this done in NYC. It is hysterical to see the reactions of people. I just cannot imagine getting so many people to cooperate at the exact same minute. Bravo for the entertainment.

Can you imagine what it was like for the non-participants? Something out of "The Twilight Zone" I imagine... Awesome!
