It's a little disturbing I think!

Okay, is this a clever way to raise awareness?  Or just a bad idea?  The Parkinson Society in Holland decided to remind people of what a devastating disease it is by releasing a HARLEM SHAKE VIDEO!

The chairman is a guy named Erik Roos, who has Parkinson's decided to skip his medication for a day.  So the video shows him struggling just to stay on his feet  all while Baauer's song is playing.

Then at the point where "Harlem Shake" videos usually kick into a bunch of people dancing, he falls down instead.  And a message pops up on the screen that says, quote, "Shaking.  Fun for some.  [A] daily struggle for others."
