^Soooo, was that supposed to go in the Funny Youtube thread? Because it doesn't really seem like news to me.

Both the article and the situation is hilarious. I wonder if it was really all Slovaks voting on that one, though, what with it being an internet thing... And how did he ever become a candidate in the first place? I'm scared.

Nicolas Cage Photo Instead of a Resume -- Not a Successful Strategy for Getting a Job, It Turns Out - At Work - WSJ

Quote:

Everyone makes email blunders, but in Vanessa Hojda’s case, mistakenly attaching a photo of actor Nicolas Cage to a job application has made her an instant celebrity online.

Hojda, a 20-year-old student at York University in Toronto, inadvertently became the object of the Web’s attention this week after emailing her school’s career center about an administrative assistant job. Instead of uploading her résumé and cover letter, however, she accidentally attached a startling photo of actor Nicolas Cage.

Well, she goes to York University. Nobody expects very much of them anyways, lol. That school is also a hotbed for sexual assaults - three separate incidents in the last week alone. So glad I never went there.

Based on that photo I think Nic Cage might be the perp.
