Twitter is littered with parody accounts. There’s one for virtually every subject, celebrity, or brand you can think of. So obviously there’s one parodying the British Dairy Council: ‘British Milk Council.’ The account just went on a very realistic looking rant, fooling basically everybody.

1. Bad news, guys…

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.

2. His colleague Donna noticed it, and started panicking.

Donna your a fucking pie. Can't even keep your own twitter account secure, never mind customers data. Shitshow of an organisation

3. He goes on to reveal a truly shocking fact about the British Milk Council…

British Milk Council uses Windows XP!

4. Donna tries to reason with him.

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.

5. But Jason has already made up his mind.

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

6. After getting a lot of attention, Jason had to update the people.

Quick update for those asking. I still have control of the account. Had a meeting today with HR. Looks like the Managing Director is refusing to take responsibility for this, saying he was on holiday at the time and it wasn't his decision. Clusterfuck.

7. A bunch of people didn’t realize it’s a parody account.

Not 100% sure it's real.

8. They’re taking it VERY seriously.

If you don't revoke app access, anyone logged in on mobile can still tweet.

9. Stu missed a golden opportunity.

Damn.. Should have said stick it to the milk man…

10. It’s just so confusing.

How very Dairy? Geddit? See what I’ve done here?

Can’t decide if this is for real or the start of a brilliant viral marketing campaign!?

11. Fortunately, there are people who do appreciate these absolute gems.

“YOU DON’T DESERVE MY MAN MILK, DONNA”. One of the best comedy lines ever written. What a double entendre

12. The former editor of tabloid The Sun is loving it, seemingly thinking it’s real.

This makes me proud to be British. pic.twitter.com/1inKI3bKZ6

13. But the love isn’t mutual.

What a coincidence! Your tenure at The Sun made us ashamed to be British. https://t.co/ihNJI658P0

14. Fortunately, Charlie knows a way to treat that burn.

I’ll just leave this here … pic.twitter.com/I8Zfv30KZ3

That went down smoothly…
