Last One Promise!!! Due 12/16/11

Ok I know its about that time for finals, but this was such a great article and it ties in to the carrot mob idea that I couldn't resist. So one last blog for this quarter. Read this article and comment on the following:

1) AHHH! What do you think?
2) I think this falls in line with the idea of the carrot mobs, so again I ask is this the wave of the future or do you think something else can change this bleak outlook!

Please post the new and fresh ideas of your generation!
