Providers of online calendars such as Apple, Google, Microsoft have added a new event category 'Tik-Tok Riot' to cope with the demands of users who need a quick way to add a looting event to their calendars and share it with others.

The Tik-Tok Riot has proven popular in France, the UK and the USA, thus proving its cultural acceptance, and was recently experienced by shoppers in London's Oxford Street.

Tik-Tok riots do not promote looting but instead are designed to help stores with their stock control by removing any excess inventory (i.e. everything in the store) free of charge.

A spokesperson for a group of Tik-Tok rioters told FNN:

We put the blame on planned obsolescence. Some of us simply don't need the latest iphone or sneakers. We are happy with the older versions.

So we are helping out struggling retail stores by removing all this old stock to make way for new stuff that can we can steal in a year's time and that's why we need a repeating event in our calendars to remind us to return.

But our real agenda is to shut down retail and turn all high streets into dystopian Clockwork Orange nightmares.

So please join me in chorus of: I'm singin' in the rain!

A spokesperson for London's Metropolitian Police commented:

We have asked the Home Secretary to bring back the Ludovico Treatment.
