Mind Bleach

I need some.

Really, really badly.

We're running a charity week at work at the moment and one of the dafter things being organised is who can do the best Harlem shake.

A group here have so far got the best one and the video is on the front page of our Company (FTSE 100) Intranet (CiB - go look, full screen. Be warned) It starts a little weird with 4 people working at a desk, on the phone, working on laptops and my cycling buddy doing the weirdest dance in the background in his cycling kit while everyone ignores him.

Then cut scene: one guy is now doing sit ups on the desk with a flashing Mars rear light as a tie while on the phone, one guy is dancing in a circle around the room with his tie 'round his head, one guy riding a chair like a horse with a lasso, a girl dancing in a Panda costume and my cycling mate dancing in nothing but bib-shorts and a gimp mask.

NOTHING but bib shorts and a gimp mask.

and this is on our Company Intranet home page. Front and centre.


I have seen some things in my time....

Sounds like a good effort.....

Sounds very David Lynch.

I bet the gimp mask and bibshorts look would catch on if Rapha puts their logo on it and slaps a healthy price tag on there to boot.

What? Not even a screen grab?

The problem is that it is company property, so I can't copy it

However - I can honestly say, you're better off not seeing it. Ask CiB, he has now.

RJS, why would you ask for such a thing? What has been seen cannot be unseen.

Meh, It's only that bad for K_B, because he knows the people involved.

For the record - I've taken a couple of screenshots and actually asked our Group compliance officer if I can publish them.

Is it just me, but my first thought was:

Harlem shake? Did we go back to March?

I can vouch for this vid - apparently it's viral within the business as the few I bounced it off to had been watching it since early morning. Sad thing is that it's what we do on conf calls most weeks to liven things up a bit when some dullard is droning on about response times and data mining, but without the noisy disco* music obviously.

I only go in the intranet at the end of the month for an agreeable conversation with my payslips tbh.

* is it disco? Was I close?

sounds like a perfect saturday night out to me

Some blithering idiot just gave me the original 1080p footage. It's WAY better quality!
