In World of Warcraft's latest expansion, Mists of Pandaria, there's a new race of panda people called Pandaren. Last week in Beijing, there was a flash mob of thirty ladies dressed as Pandaren, reports Xinhuanet. That apparently means hot pants and panda hats.
Yes, this was a stunt to promote the expansion pack, with the flashmob dancing about, and holding signs telling folks it's be out in China on October 2, otherwise known as yesterday.
