Brazilian here, fortunate enough to have walked alongside the protesters yesterday in Rio de Janeiro (while it was still peaceful).
It does seem like a massive flashmob, but my guess is that it comes from all the time we've been numb and asleep and removed from all the crap that's been happening. I know that, in order to get objective results, we need to have objective... well, objectives. :) But if a giant "occupy Brazil"-style flashmob is what it takes for us to understand what's going on and the power we have, then I'm all for it.
