dailydot:

Don’t watch this YouTube video if you cry over spilt milk

Careful as you go cruising the aisles of your favorite local grocery store this weekend. There’s a new craze sweeping through their ever-shiny linoleum floors, one that’s high on milk jugs and short on necessary mops.

Congratulations, internet. We’ve ensured “Harlem Shake” is going to drop off the Hot 100 this week.

timelightbox: Nov. 26, 2012. Police officers are sprayed with milk by European milk farmers during a demonstration outside the European Parliament in Brussels. (Photo: Geert Vanden Wijngaert—AP) From protests in Egypt and life in the aftermath of the Gaza conflict to Myanmar’s refugee camps and volcanic lava spilling into the ocean in Hawaii, TIME presents the best pictures of the week. See more on LightBox. The dairy deluge, engineered by the European Milk Board, is in protest of what the farmers claim are too-high quotas and fixed prices that are stifling their ability to maintain production. The EU sets a yearly milk production quota of 130 million metric tons, more than their member states can actually consume, a standard they plan to phase out come 2015.

Tags: milk crying over empty milk e-mails from crazy people public relations Keith Zakheim Beckerman Public Relations bad pr coffee milk cartons
I am gravely serious when I write this — if I catch someone not replacing the milk, or at least, in the case where the downstairs store has closed already, not sending an e-mail to the office so the first person that arrives … can pick one up upon arrival — then I am going to fire you. I’m not joking. Have fun explaining that one to your next employer. This is not a empty threat, so PLEASE don’t test me.
Beckerman Public Relations CEO Keith Zakheim • Freaking out over an empty milk carton and threatening to fire anyone who doesn’t replace it next time around. “Imagine my chagrin this morning when I stumbled in at 7:15 after enduring a typically painful Redskins loss and in dire need of a shot of caffeine,” he complained in an e-mail, “only to find that the skim milk in the refrigerator had three drops of milk left.” We love everything about this insane e-mail. (Thank you for this incredible tale of endurance imwithkanye!!)
