Doing the Harlem Shake

Dancing the Harlem Shake at work got 15  Australian miners fired.  Dancing doesn’t harm anyone, right? Wrong. In this case the boss, who found out after a video was posted online, felt it was a safety violation. “The workers were part of an overnight crew working at the Agnew Mine in Western Australia owned by South African miner Gold Fields Ltd. The workers were employed by Barminco, an Australia-based underground services company.” reported The Huffington Post. “The 30-second video posted on YouTube shows a group of miners, some wielding tools and shirtless, performing the Harlem Shake, which typically begins with a one solo dancer who is quickly joined by others, often in costumes or with props.”A YouTube spokeswoman said over 250,000 Harlem Shake videos were uploaded in February and watched more than 700 million times, with a version by the Norwegian army notching up more than 47 million views and an underwater version 30 million.
