Charles Todd understood that in the morning people go to work in a bad mood. That is why the founder of the most famous group of mobbers in America "Improv Everywhere", together with his like-minded people, took up the rescue of the Americans' vigor and staged the action "High Five Escalator". 6 people collected 2000 smiles in 45 minutes.
The action took place on one of the largest subway escalators in New York, connecting the stations of the two lines. This is one of the largest crossings in the city metro. A lot of people passed there, especially during rush hours.
At 8:30 am, Charles and his company showed up at that location. The mobbers chose the exact metro escalator, because a narrow staircase was allocated for the descent of passengers, and several escalators for the ascent. The protesters picked up signs with the words "Rob wants", "Say hello", "With you", "Get ready!" Each of the mobbers descended in turn, holding a sign in their hands so that all the gloomy passengers could see it.
After the 4th inscription, already rather intrigued people passing on the metro escalator waited with interest for the continuation. That's when Charles Todd showed up. His assistant was holding a sign with the words "Rob" on it, which also had an arrow pointing to Charles.
For 45 minutes, the sleepy and gloomy passengers smiled and clapped Charles' hands, raising their spirits. Someone even asked for a phone number from the author of the idea, but he was immersed in his mission. According to the authors of the action, their idea was brilliantly realized. The subway escalator did not gather so many smiling Americans every morning in one morning. More than 2,000 people smiled and gave Charles a five.

How the media changed Humanity, and Humanity changed the media over the past couple of thousand years
