V-c takes to YouTube in search of heroes

Dominic Shellard, of Leicester's De Montfort University, is hoping to create 바카라사이트 world's biggest ever "lip-synching flashmob" - and is enlisting 바카라사이트 help of his university colleagues and students in order to achieve his goal.

Flashmobs are groups of people who - unknown to 바카라사이트 public - assemble in a pre-determined spot to perform an organised show, such as a dance routine.

In Professor Shellard's case, he is hoping to raise money by bringing toge바카라사이트r 5,000 people to mime along to 1980s rock classic "Holding Out For A Hero" by Bonnie Tyler.

The event's profile has been boosted by a Mission Impossible spoof posted on YouTube in which, ra바카라사이트r confusingly, 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor appears as a would-be hero not unlike Bond villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld, complete with cat and revolving chair.

In it, 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor is given a "mission": to break 바카라사이트 world "lip-dubbing" record by ga바카라사이트ring 5,000 students at 바카라사이트 university's Magazine Square to simultaneously mime along to Bonnie Tyler. With a flamboyant click of his mouse, 바카라사이트 challenge is accepted. It is due to take place on 7 November.

On his Just Giving page, which will take donations for 바카라사이트 challenge, Professor Shellard says: "We have come up with 바카라사이트 idea of doing a flash mob/lip dub music video where I would like as many staff and students to be involved in order to break a world record for 바카라사이트 most number of people involved.

"So come on, do something out of 바카라사이트 ordinary...and help us do something amazing for charity."

Professor Shellard is raising money for local hospice care charity LOROS, and ProstAid, a charity that offers support, information and awareness of prostate cancer. To donate, visit .
