Oh, I totally misunderstood, it's way stupider than I thought.

Hey LordBaal, have you seen True Memoirs of an International Assassin? It's set in Venezuela. Please watch it and let me know how badly Hollywood represented your country.

On a scale from.... hmm, actually, they represent every country badly.

A dude I follow on FB is a 3d modeller and designer, fairly good at it, has won competitions before, has a book in the works, all that jazz. He applied to compete in the Zbrush summit in LA for their live sculpt-off thingy.

Since he's from Serbia he needs a Visa, so he went to the embassy to apply for one. He got rejected pretty much immediately, the reasoning the lady gave him was this: "Your profession is in Los Angeles, centralised - a lot of jobs etc - why would u come back - there is no point with your high qualifications and money you can earn there. Unfortuantly i will have to decline"

Let's ignore that his job is kinda high-profile and not something you can really do illegaly and consider that they're refusing him because there's a risk that an educated and highly qualified individual might enter their workforce.

What's strange about this? I'm assuming he wasn't applying for a work visa.

One of my front line CS reps was told that they are evil and are going to hell.
 
This was because they would not drive to NYC personally (we are maybe 500 miles away) to bring her what she wanted. Old people are a fount of comedy in this biz.

I read CS as "Counter-Strike". Figured "Yeah, 'evil and going to hell' sounds familiar".

I read it as CCS (Conservative Crime Squad) first, though this links to something I was going to mention anyway - I learnt WTF before FTW, and even now I translated FTW as Fuck The What.  Further, this morning I was behind a vehicle with the end reg HSF. I translated it first as Happy Stuff Fun, and then as Happy Sun Fluff.

It's amazing how the human brain does or doesn't work.

isn't HFS "Hidden Fun Stuff"?

Indeed, it is hidden, it is kept safe.

I just read George Washington's Farewell Address, 222 years after the fact, at 2:22pm. As an aside, I was born 2/2/92 at 2:22am. So that's something.
