Fake flashes:

It is intersting to note that sometimes events use 'fake flashes'.
On some awards ceremony (no I never watch them - it was just on - honest)
something caught my eye about the large volume of flashes coming from the 
audience.  To begin with, most of the audience were 'stars' (not the sort
to come with an instamatic).  Most of the flashes seemed to come from the edge
of the audience - in actuality the back wall.  Some bright 'PR' type of 
person had evidently gotten strobe lights with a semi-random pattern of 
firings so that all of us little people at home would feel the excitement
of the moment.
