Your fin­gers can exericse a lot more.

I am not capa­ble of run­ning a half marathon, disqualified.…..

Hong Kong Broad­band amazes me all the time. Not to men­tion its enter­tain­ing TV com­mer­cials and aggres­sive $99 BB100 pric­ing scheme, now the com­pany is hir­ing a CXO for 2025–2030. Candidates will be enrolled as a man­age­ment trainee and go through a 18-month inten­sive train­ing pro­gram, so as to pre­pare one­self to be the future CXO.  CXO stands for Chief Exec­u­tive / Finan­cial / Tech­nol­ogy Offi­cer, details here.

Let’s look at the job requirement:

Looks like the daugh­ter won’t eat 翠肉瓜 any­more. How dare her?

My friend just sent me the link of the above news.

A few hours ago, a 60-year old man was found lying on his bed par­a­lyzed after a sui­cide attempt by inject­ing some sorts of melon (翠肉瓜, what is the Eng­lish of that?) into his own anus. The daugh­ter who dis­cov­ered this was shocked for sure. I just couldn’t imag­ine how bad the old man’s life was…

The news was viewed 5000 times so far and it received a five-star rat­ing from ten read­ers. What does that mean?

I guess, that means at least ten read­ers are amused by the news, although the rat­ing sys­tem is too sim­ple to tell.

Warn­ing! Fake stuff detected.

I hate them because they are so fake.

Read this Webb-site.

Quote:

…the Gov­ern­ment puts out its posi­tion is to issue media releases (or what they still call “press releases”, despite the dimin­ish­ing role of printed media in soci­eties), in which they con­jure up a fic­ti­tious “spokesman” and report that the spokesman said var­i­ous things. The decep­tive idea is that the media will then pro­duce reports with direct quo­ta­tions from “a Gov­ern­ment spokesman”, with­out ever hav­ing heard a real-life human speak those words. It cre­ates the illu­sion that the jour­nal­ist inter­viewed the spokesman or at least heard him speak (and knows who spoke), and hence that the media report is the result of a jour­nal­is­tic enquiry of the matter…

“Spokesman” is a fake and even if a quote is attached to a real human name it can still be a fake, or, a fable devised by a prophet-like PR…and that will one day cre­ate trou­ble. For most of the time, those PRs are so help­ful to write down direct quotes of any impor­tant per­son just before the per­son says any­thing, and reporters are so happy to copy every­thing even if the per­son says some­thing otherwise.

I tell you, direct quotes are the least real­is­tic stuff in any news arti­cle. (Of course, there are other rea­sons other than the press release fraud.)

Whose faults?

No, I didn’t apply, believe me.

Read the company’s job openings.

No offence, ok, yes, it may be an offence…to those who can­not obtain an uni­ver­sity degree in the age of aca­d­e­mic infla­tion. Bite me. Hon­estly I can’t trust some­one with a F.5 back­ground and fol­low his invest­ment rec­om­men­da­tions, this is the hard-earned money I am talk­ing about!

You can tell how seri­ous an invest­ment firm is by look­ing at the qual­ity of the peo­ple it hired.

Wait, the firm here is pay­ing at most 8K(with com­mis­sion), what do you expect? Com­pare this.
