The early 2000 s club hit “Satisfaction” by Benny Benassi is so catchy that it's almost impossible to not dance when it comes on. But the song landed some Russian students in hot water after they decided to film themselves dancing sensually to its beat in their underwear.

This video may not be safe for run.

The video, which is similar to one posted by British soldiers a few years ago, was make use of students at the Ulyanovsk Institute of Civil Aviation, one of Russia's oldest civil aircraft training school. The school believes the video was filmed in October but was merely posted to VK, a Russian social network site, on Jan. 16. The video racked up hundreds of thousands of views, to the chagrin the school and Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency.

The agency released a statement calling the video both “outrageous” and “immoral” and threatened those who participated with” the strictest disciplinary measures ,” including expulsion.

Crime Russia reported that an official from the institute, Sergey Krasnov, said there was ” no excuse” for the video and that those involved” will not find their place in civil aviation .” He also compared their actions to those of well-known musicians and activists Pussy Riot.

The threats of discipline only rallied people to the students' aid. A petition called ” Do not expel Ulyanovsk cadets” promptly gathered thousands of signatures, and people–from nursing students to retirees–created their own versions of the video as a kind of protest employing the hashtag #SatisfactionChallenge.

The pressure seems to have worked. On Jan. 18, Ulyanovsk Governor Sergey Morozov, posted on Facebook that the students would not be expelled. “I'm sure they should be punished,” he said in the post.” But the penalty is only, commensurate with the act. Our undertaking is not to break “peoples lives” , not to cross out their dreams, but to stimulate them think about the consequences of their actions .”
