On Saturday, December 10, International Human Rights Day, a flash mob
took over the wedding registry section of the Bed Bath & Beyond in
Larkspur, Calif. The flash mob consisted of a mock wedding in which four
brides committed to boycott illegal Israeli settlement products, namely
Ahava cosmetics and SodaStream home carbonation systems, and local
Reverend Dr. Walt Davis pronounced the brides "married to a life of
peace and justice." The Justice Voices choir sung a parody of "Ode to
Joy" that asked Bed Bath & Beyond to deshelve these products. Store
employees asked the flash mobbers to leave the store and called the
police. No arrests were made.
Caroling continued outside the store where the group received positive feedback from holiday shoppers.
