If you can point out which part of the post is bloody and which part is awful, I will send a new manuscript in triplicate, for your proof reading and editing, Sir.

I didn't know there existed humour-vaccums in the HN space time continuum. I prescribe one page of Wodehouse with your morning coffee and two strips of Dilbert before bed.

In this case bloody was an adjective on awful, so we'll just go with awful. I think the posting does your company and your country a disservice.

Firstly, it makes your company look like it's run by people who are sexist because you decide to explicitly bring up two actresses and having sex with them in a job posting. This makes me wonder what the working environment would be like. In the posting you might have got away with "Would you rather spend time with Angelina Jolie or Linus Torvalds?" but you went with asking whether I'd rather have a threesome sexual encounter with those two actresses.

Secondly, the posting doesn't do much to tell me why your company is interesting. You mention some characteristics of the application in the part you term SEO but you don't mention specifics such as datastorage platform or programming language.

Thirdly, since you are in India and I don't have much experience of India a job posting like this on the front page of Hacker News makes me wonder whether this sort of sexist imagery is normal in India and that doesn't attract me to the place.

Lastly, this isn't a question of humour. Whenever sexist, racist, homophobic imagery is used in the computer industry a common retort from the people who use it is that the people 'offended' need to get a sense of humour. How funny would it be to you if I posted a job posting that made it clear that I was biased against Indians?

One of us is having a bad day :) You may not actually mind talking to me normally, if we met across the street. But that's just the optimist in me speaking.

And one of us is refusing to read & discuss the portion of the post that is actually interesting for an engineer.

I am not so hugely popular to do be able to disservice to my country with a short post on HN. Since we are on the subject of countries, I hope you are not from the US. Because, my friends there have an awesome HQ (hint: they actually laugh heartily watching Colbert Report and Daily Show).

You have a fertile imagination, I agree, but in the eagerness to call me names, you've let a word slip: s/imaginary/imagery

Can I post this exchange to the readers of DNRC ? Can't keep so much fun to ourselves, can we?

At the risk of speaking for someone else...

> You may not actually mind talking to me normally, if we met across the street.

He didn't say anything about you personally, just the posting.

> And one of us is refusing to read & discuss the portion of the post that is actually interesting for an engineer.

Your post says a lot about what you need, but nothing about what your company actually uses or what your stack looks like. There's nothing about why I would want to join you (well, except the fact that you can afford five pizzas, I guess).

> Since we are on the subject of countries, I hope you are not from the US. Because, my friends there have an awesome HQ (hint: they actually laugh heartily watching Colbert Report and Daily Show).

I don't understand what this means. (EDIT: From another answer, I realize that by HQ you mean IQ, not headquarters, so it's just an insult).

> You have a fertile imagination, I agree, but in the eagerness to call me names, you've let a word slip: s/imaginary/imagery

I'm guessing the parent edited that? Still, he didn't call you any names anywhere that I saw.
