Funny, yet slightly disturbing.
Update: Apparently the R-rated nature of the video above was deemed too raunchy for public consumption and has been taken down. (For those who did see it, however, the impression it left won’t soon be forgotten.) Granted, CareerBuilder is no stranger to advertising that pushes the envelope, but they obviously outdid themselves this time.

that’s disappointing, it makes them look desperate, maybe they are not used to being the leader yet…

It’s a shame I missed this yesterday – the clip is no longer available. Anyone have a copy of it?

I saw it before it got taken down and thought it was brilliant. Such a shame management pulled the plug. While Smuz.com lacks the budget for expensive animations, I thought it would be fun to post a poll on the subject on the Smuz home page. For those who missed it…
Have you ever dipped your pen in the company ink well?
So far no one has claimed a dry pen, half have dipped their pen and 25% have even had some ink well on ink well fun!
Cheers, Paul.
