Well, not in so many words. But you were clearly employing what the experts know as “reverse sickology” and we at the ol’ raincoaster blog have no choice but to obey. The following is yet another Workplace Safety PSA, albeit one from the Eisenhower Era, enhanced with MST3K‘s finest snark.

Let no man, woman, child or fingerling claim that we here at the ol’ raincoaster blog are unfeeling, unresponsive megalomaniacs. We are, but we prefer to hush it up when we can.
But it seems that our last post, the clearly-labeled Most Gruesome Workplace Safety Video of All Time, was a bit too much, even for our intrepid (an generally un-squeamish) readers. They cried aloud as one, requesting Unicorn Chasers.
Oh, fine. Here.
In the latest example of inadvertently star-making sense of humour failure on the part of an organization, Emma Clarke, smooth-voiced announcer for the London Underground system, has been “de-accessioned” for recording spoof announcements and posting them on her personal website.
“London Underground is sorry to have to announce that further contracts for Miss Clarke are experiencing severe delays,” a TfL spokesman told the Evening Standard Monday.
Actually, giving the text a read-over, it appears that these so-called fakes are actually more useful and informative than the officially sanctioned announcements. See for yourself:
etc, etc. Click over to her website in a day or so to listen to the recordings, once the publicity from the worldwide stories on Reuters, BBC, etc, etc, has calmed down and the site comes back up.
As our devoted stalkers are aware, some time ago the ol’ raincoaster, through no fault of her own, joined the ranks of the gainfully employed. It was a Teeny disruption, which, like so many an apparently-minor event, began a slide down a slippery slope; she may even end up respectable one day!
In the course of such employment, she not infrequently stumbles across posts of genuine interest, sprinkled between the millions generic “Britney Does Something Scandalous/Angelina Walks On Water, Gives It To Dehydrated Africans” headlines.
This post by the Mr. Henry on the Manolofood blog is just such an one.
