I’m Ready To Be Milked

It seems people are running out of crazy things to try and now turning to the pantry and refrigerator for new ideas. First there was the cinnamon challenge (which I’ve tried, lol) and now there’s “milking” in the UK (surely soon to be spread to the US). Yep, milk is flying off the shelves everywhere and it’s not being used for cereal or making cakes. People are using it to “milk” themselves. WTH?! Apparently, milking is the art (or lack thereof) of pouring milk over yourself and filming it. What is the incentive? Possibly thousands of YouTube viewers seeing you make a fool of yourself. 22-year-old Tom Morris is largely responsible for jump starting the milking craze. He thought it would be a cool idea to pour  a four pint container of milk over himself, right outside of a local Starbucks. Since his milking debut, the video has received over 60,000 hits in less than 1 week on YouTube. Now people are milking themselves anywhere and everywhere….in dumpsters, front yards, grocery store parking lots and football fields.

So what is the public’s reaction to all of this? Some people love it and others think it’s just down right stupid. I’ll be the first to admit, I like a little crazy fun every now and then but this seems to be going too far. True, I did try the “Cinnamon Challenge” and nearly burned my nose hairs off, but that somehow doesn’t seem so bad compared to this.  One YouTube user, SamSmurfet commented “”Holy cow man! Dairy good video. Just semi-skimming YouTube when I found this.” But others are calling it “immature” and a waste of money. I don’t even really like drinking milk, but this seems a little extreme to me. It’s funny to watch, but I don’t think I’ll be a participant in this craze. Especially not for the whole world to see on the Internet. Planking, Batmanning, owling, what’s next??!! I’m really curious to see how long this one will last…..In the meantime, check out this video of random “milkers”. I love the House of Pain “Jump Around” music as the soundtrack to this madness, lol.

What do you think about it? Is this just good, clean fun or pointless energy and money wasted?

T-Mobile, Pay What You Owe

Let’s face it. We’ve all been fed up with customer service at some point or another. Whether it’s the cashier in the drive through with a horrible attitude or the manager that lies to you and says they’re doing all they can to resolve the issue. In our minds, we often act out slapping the person in the head, stomping on them or throwing things (bricks, pots, etc) at them to release our anger. Or is it just me??? Well, one furious Manchester, England T-Mobile customer named Jason Codner decided to take matters into his own hands….literally.

Earlier this week, Jason trashed a local T-Mobile store in Manchester, England by ripping displays from the walls, tearing down signs, and spraying phones with 2 fire extinguishers. What possibly could have made him do this? A refund. Or better yet, a refund that he did not get that he felt he deserved. There aren’t any details as to what the refund was for, but it definitely angered Jason enough to trash the T-Mobile store. And here’s the kicker…he walks in without any kind of mask, and slowly trashes the store as onlookers eventually witness him getting arrested. Surprisingly, he doesn’t resist the arrest and takes full responsibility for his actions. Way to go Jason…even if you do get that refund you more than likely deserved, you’ll be paying much more than that in damages.

So what Do you think about Jason Codner’s rampage? Were his actions justified if he really was ripped off? One thing is for sure. Jason Codner has made huge headlines, and people with T-Mobile, AT&T and Sprint phones are all watching the video of his antics. Just goes to show that only takes a little guts and irrational behavior to be a star today. Have you ever lost your mind for a second regarding customer service matters? Or have you thought out a release of anger similar to Jason’s? Definitely a WTH moment….feel free to share your thoughts.

And oh yeah…HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!
