It was apparently too hot for YouTube, but the salacious CareerBuilder video is back online at Revver. A lot of readers were disappointed about missing it. Enjoy it while you can in its original format. And don’t worry, this time we made a copy in case they get happy with the delete button.
UPDATE: CareerBuilder has removed the video again. I’d be shocked if someone’s job wasn’t lost over this fiasco.

I can’t believe that CB actually had that approved and made. I’m guessing that one of the following happened:
1. This was from their ad agency, and was never approved by management, but leaked to YouTube.
2. This was an internal prank, made for internal laughs, never to be seen by outside eyes.
3. This was made my their competition as part of a smear campaign or something like that.
Can anyone provide some insight into where this really came from? If it was indeed by CB folks, did heads roll?

nah I doubt if heads rolled richard catellini is bulletproof; maybe on the agency side but look how much attention it’s getting this is probably what they wanted….there is no bad PR

I still insist that this video is brilliant. I’m going to stop sleeping around and put my resume on Career Builder TOMORROW.
