Hire-a-Mob
"Someone called for an angry mob... Yes, that's us..." | |
A group of people, numbering anything from 20 to 1000, who rent themselves out to anyone (companies, religious nuts, the government...) for a certain amount per hour.
They will:
Wave pitchforks about in a threatening manner;
Chant slogans;
March up and down;
Carry torches (real firey torches);
Sign
petitions.
Whatever you want to get angry about, Hire-a-Mob will cater for you. Need a hundred tall men to shout angry slogans about new Maximum-Height Restriction laws? That'll be £500 for half an hour, £50 extra if you want pitchforks and torches.

and would the last part of the idea be a higher-mob? + |

Brilliant. When can this be up and running? There are a few people I want to scare... |

The signing petitions part sounds like out and out blackmail. |
|

It's not blackmail [truths], more like simple bribery - you're paying the mob to sign your petetion. |

And, despite the disturbing similarity of the linked idea, I claim innocence and ignorance. Delete my idea if you want , I don't mind - my only protest would be that the link is clearly tongue-in-cheek, whereas I am deadly serious. |

Bribery, that was the one I meant. Point well made. |
|

This is probably being done at low levels already. What is the term, "agent provocateur"? |

I saw a book about Jakarta that included photos of several different demonstrations that featured the same guy in each of them. He always had the same shirt and the same dental problem, and liked to be near the front of the crowd. The book's editor pointed him out, but didn't know who he was. |

Would the second step be making sure there was some guy wearing a rainbow Afro wig and a t-shirt reading "John 3:16" right up front? |
