You've got to keep your bosses entertained

Oxford librarian sacked over Harlem Shake at St Hilda's College 

All the students who had been identified as taking part in the video have been fined by the Dean and a librarian and graduate student, Calypso Nash, sacked for not preventing the Harlem Shake taking place.
Yeah, cuz, you know, it upset some of the senior staff.  We can't be upsetting people.  I'm just not sure what's to get upset about, other than I think it's a somewhat ridiculous thing to do.  The whole thing lasted 7 minutes according to the article, it happened after the library was closed, and the librarian who was fired didn't take part in the video.  She just didn't stop it.  Of course, the video would have been much more entertaining if the librarian really had attempted to stop the students, and maybe the librarian wouldn't have been fired.  So, the way I see it, the librarian was fired because she allowed a not entertaining enough video being made in the library.
