This is exactly what you don’t want to happen with your company social media accounts!
The British Milk Council, a Twitter account who is apparently the ‘official authority promoting the drinkage of milk through exclusive brand content’ has had a bit of a social media meltdown over the past 24 hours.
Overnight a serious internet meltdown occurred when a social media manager hijacked the British Milk Council Twitter account after being told that the Council had decided to shut down all social media channels.
Milking it for all it was worth, Jason, the really upset manager refused to hand back the accounts and tweeted his outrage at the decision, including irate exchanges with his boss Donna and whistleblowing on the poor state of cybersec in the Council.
Although some observers felt that Jason shouldn’t “cry over spilt milk”, and that while the situation had turned “sour” that “the cream would always rise to the top” it turns out the crazy tweets are actually from a parody account and the entire altercation was created for laughs.
“The fictional dairy group has been entertaining its 13,000 strong followers on Twitter since 2010 with a mixture of dairy-based quips and hilarious outbursts. But over the last 24 hours the account has gone even more viral thanks to a ‘disgruntled employee’.”
The parody British Milk Council’s account was ‘taken over’ by a disgruntled employee named ‘Jason’ who claims he is “out of a job”. Another employee, ‘Donna’ interjects through the same account, begging Jason to log out.
Jason, however, has had enough and provides us with a soon-to-be iconic line: “YOU DON’T DESERVE MY MAN MILK, DONNA”.
Check out the very NOT SAFE FOR WORK tweets below:
Just been called into the office to be told that British Milk Council are shutting down all social channels. I'm out of a job. Something about misuse of data higher up. Fuck that. I've changed the password and they're not having the account back.

Jason you're punishing the whole organisation for the mistakes of a few. I wasn't in the meeting but we can sort this out amicably away from Twitter. Check your works email.

Too little too late, Donna. THREE YEARS I worked my arse off for British Milk Council. I built the brand from the ground up. The #ManMilk promotion? My idea! YOU DON'T DESERVE MY MAN MILK, DONNA
