The Anaheim Ducks Social Media Night Flash Mob, Or ‘Flash Mobs Are The Worst Thing’

Written by Brandon Stroud / 04.04.13

The top comment for this video says it all:


I was sitting.

.lookin up at Honda vision…and I saw the girl dancing…thought process…”oh wow…she really likes this song…..WWWHHHHAAAAAAAATTT IS THIS?!?!?!?!…THIS IS AWWWWEEEEEEESOME!!!!!!!!!!”

NEVER seen anything like it at a ducks game. Legit. PROPS

I try not to be judgmental about wacky stuff like this on With Leather. We in the blogging community are quick to get heated about unimportant stuff like commercials or memes or the tiredness of memes that’ve been done for more than 30 minutes. With me, if you wanna do parkour over a police officer or whatever to get famous on the Internet, hey, parkour your heart out. If you want to make “One Does Not Simply ____” jokes several years too late, that’s your prerogative. It’s not my place to judge.

That said, if you enjoy or participate in flash mobs I hate you and you should die for real. This is not a joke. I will fight you in real life. I think Flash Mobs are probably the worst thing, worse than world hunger, worse than prejudice and sadness and black licorice. It’s like somebody watched Usher’s scene in She’s All That and thought, “hey, let’s do this in real life.” It makes me so mad I just flipped my desk.

Besides, “Social Media Night” should just be about getting into the building anonymously and telling the Ducks how shitty they are for trying to play sports.

"I have thought about this a lot, seriously."

If you’re like me, you have a problem with women, because women be trippin. You try to flirt with other girls on Instagram, because a woman will sleep with you if you hit the little heart button under a picture they’ve uploaded to the Internet, and your woman gets MAD at you, as if it’s YOUR fault for getting a hard-on for some titties in a “toaster” filter.

Thankfully, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson is here with THE INSTAGRAM RULES FOR MEN, easily the most handy set of rules handed down since Moses descended Mount Sinai. Here they are, in their glory:

A Behind The Scenes Look At Sammy Sosa’s New Social Media PR Rehab Experiment

Written by Ashley Burns / 01.11.13

"And look Sammy, the bird flies into the pigs!"

By now, you’ve surely seen the glory that is former MLB slugger Sammy Sosa’s Pinterest page, which was unveiled by Deadspin yesterday and quickly pinned on every blog and Tumblr across the Interwebs. If the year ended today and I was forced to throw together my Pulitzer-winning Biggest Sports Moments of the Year feature, there’d be little doubt that this would be No. 2 behind only this GIF of Oregon’s cheerleaders.

Of course, the year doesn’t end in January, because that would mean we’d miss my birthday and that would be a dick move, Father Time. It also means that we’d miss out on the rest of whatever whirlwind public relations tour that Sosa’s handlers are creating for him, as he of course is one of baseball’s steroid era’s biggest personalities and probably in need of a little baby kissing, what with that whole Hall of Fame eligibility thing.

But why, then, was his Pinterest page so hilariously awful? Why does every picture have the same caption on it, proclaiming this to be the real Sammy Sosa? Well, because his team isn’t all that great at social media.
