The cheeky employees have shared videos of themselves singing in tribute to the mistake, people have created a saucy flash mob event on social media and workers have posed naked with various items to protect their modesty.

The jokers decided to strip off after the Belorussian President, Alexander Lukashenko, 61, mixed up his words during a speech on new technology.
During the talk, he said: "Innovations, IT-technologies, privatization it is all clear.
"We’ve conquered all of them. But everything is very simply, one should get undressed and work."
The president had actually wanted to tell people to "develop themselves" - but the phrase sounds very similar to "get undressed" in Russian.
What many described as a "Freudian slip" instantly went viral on local internet forums and triggered a saucy flashmob event on social media.
Dozens of people posted pictures of themselves at work including naked and semi-naked businessmen and women at their desks.
A female assistant in an electronics store posted a picture of herself with only a keyboard protecting her modesty.
And a joiner uploaded an alarming picture of himself working in the nude with a circular saw in front of his groin.

Tattoo artists, radio hosts, journalists and even construction workers were soon stripping off at work to join in the fun.
All of the participants of the flash mob posted their photos online, with the hash tag #getnakedandgotowork, where they instantly went viral.
Netizen 'bali photo wedding 84' said: "Hahaha, love these pics!", while 'This boy TV' added: "I love the power of words over swords any day."
Belarus shares border with Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia.
Singing happily while playing a guitar as one co-worker seems to be working away on his computer but bopping along to the music.
