Things We Saw Today: The Official Muppets Poster is Filled With Joy

It’s just so delightful! (At Pajiba)

  • Summer’s Eve has pulled those really strange and kinda racist talking-hand-vagina commercials from circulation. We’d like to think it was because they truly realized the error of their ways, but it was probably just because Stephen Colbert made fun of them on national television and the internet really liked that. (At Jezebel)
  • A Tumblr entitled “Boobs Don’t Work That Way” exists, and it is exquisite. (At Boobs Don’t Work That Way)
  • Here is a review of the Wonder Woman pilot. (At Thanley)

Look at this Doctor Who LEGO set! LOOK AT IT! It’s adorable! (At Look At This Frakking Geekster)

Almost all advice I’ve sought about aquiring a job has somehow included something along the lines of “Get their ATTENTION.” When Erin Michael Vondrak really wanted a job at Valve but found her resume un-responded-to, she submitted this song to them. We really, really hope they hire her. (At Geekosystem)

    What bothers me about that Muppets poster is that the humans are getting top billing.

    That song was damn funny and clever.  Hope she gets hired.  :D

    Dammit .. I don’t need more tumblers to distract me from my papers.

    There are a couple funny bits in the video, and it certainly shows dedication, but I, uh… hope she’s not looking for a position in the art department.

    If Valve has an opening in the twee 14-year old girl song department I hope they consider her.

    I looked at her website and she’s certainly not bad as an artist, but she needs more time to develop her art. And part of the problem with this video is that it’s just “please hire
    me b/c I’m adorable with this song and all” and doesn’t really tell what she wants to do for Valve or list any sort of valid, applicable credentials she has. So, yeah, cute video and song, but I don’t see Valve watching the video, going “D’awwwww” and just hiring her.

    I think the purpose of things like this (I know a few people who’ve submitted videos as a job-getting tactic) is just to get your name to stand out on top of the other zillions of people sending in resumes. If you’re getting no response, usually it’s just because your name got lost. This isn’t a replacement for a resume, or even a cover letter, it just puts you in their attention.

    The problem is that she’s getting attention to the fact that her artistic talentes aren’t that good yet. She should have waited to do this later on, when her skills would hopefully be better developed.

    Hoping she gets a job based in pure amateur cuteness makes no sense.

    P.S.: Don’t bother reading the video’s comments, for real.
