"16% of reviews have 1 stars" ...

Well, yeah, it's directly from the original product page I worked from. I didn't have a fun idea for that part, so I left it as-is with a blank link. If you have a good idea, I would totally do it :) Thanks! Philippe

Absurdist parody of unreasonable expectations?

"Was unable to leap tall building."

"A decent doll would at least be poseable."

"Demanded food immediately after arrival."

One concern is this, in the footer: > This website was made in Jan 2013 by Philippe Dubost for the sole purpose of a playful and creative job search. No copyright infrigement intended. "No copyright infringement intended" is not a thing. Also, right below that it then says: > © 2013, Philippe Dubost Seems a bit strange to me.

A better statement would be that it is intended as satire, to comment on current state of our society and so on.

You're right, I'll edit this part, thanks

You wanna know why copyright infringement is a big deal? Two words: vicarious liability.

If you hire someone who has no idea how copyright works, and in the course of their employment with you they go ahead and infringe someone's IP, you're liable.

"No copyright infringement intended". Isn't the act of copying Amazon's style intended copyright infringment?

Seems like this would fall under the satire distinction.

"No copyright infringement intended" means "I have no idea what copyright is". Altogether a dumb thing to put on a resume.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What is painful Amazon checkout process? Did you mean painless one-click buy that makes me spend more money on Kindle books than I would want to?

You mean the process where I'm logged in, add some items to my cart and when I click checkout get asked to login again, get to the 3rd screen and I'm told they don't ship to my country? Yeah, painless.

You can now filter for international shipping on search results.

For a second I thought someone had posted their resume as an eBook on Amazon.com and then used the product description options Amazon gives "publishers" very creatively.

Since it turns out that this is not what this is, I might do it, post a link on Hackernews, get lots of eyeballs that way, and subsequently receive a super-awesome job offer. Assuming the latter is also phildub's intention: Good luck!
