Created by Marina Shifrin to announce her departure from Taiwanese animation company Next Media Animation, the 'I Quit' video, officially titled "An Interpretive Dance For My Boss Set To Kanye West's Gone" (right) was an instant online hit. It even landed Shifrin a job offer from US talk show the Queen Latifah show.
Not to be outdone, Shifrin's former employer created a response video in the style of the original.

Lauren Hendry Parsons is senior account manager, Singapore, at Weber Shandwick.
