In January, Gabe made his feelings known about the loosely-knit prank troupe Improv Everywhere, and what they hath wrought in terms of T-Mobile commercials. I'll admit I've long harbored similar grouchy feelings, but since I suspect that mine come from a dark, indefensible place that doesn't want to know that other people are out there delighting strangers in the sunshine while I'm sitting at home stubbing out cigarettes and trying to find a unique angle on a video of a cat yelling at another cat (though I totally did!), I'm not going to even try to argue that one (though at least one of his points was indisputable: may you one day be avenged, Ghosts Of Pasha). ANYWAY, no matter how you feel about the trend of going out there and getting as many people as possible to make a "What the fuck is going on with those weirdos" face at the same time, we can all agree that these T-Mobile commercials NEED TO STOP.

Can't you just FEEL THE JOY? Pretty soon everyone's going to be surprised and disappointed when they go to a public place and a bunch of seemingly unrelated people DON'T burst out into song and dance.

(None of this applies to that Sound Of Music In A Train Station thing from a few months ago, which was fine because it was, uh, Belgian. Shhh. That one was great.)
