Trolling HR or the new "all or nothing" tactic to break into the IB

Topic subject says it all.
I'm interested in the opinion on other fellow monkeys on this article.
What would you do, if you were forwarded a CV of a wannabe intern, with this beautiful picture attached?

 
animalz:
So in a demonstration of solidarity with this briefly attachment-impaired individual, I suggest that tomorrow, every person in North America who sends a resume to a potential boss should attach that very same photo of Nicolas Cage instead
Do you work in finance?
Get busy living

After I got to like the 4th word in the article I could tell Animalz didn't write it, because this was clearly written by an absolute retard. Who came up with those conclusions because she fucked up and sent the wrong picture? Nobody told me I was tech savvy and had a sense of humor when I put addressed my Deutsche Bank cover letter to Raymond James and got dinged. All my friends in college didn't send out cover letters made out to Raymond James in solidarity, they just called me fucking retarded.

And if this guy thinks having that Nick Cage picture saved on your hard drive constitutes a sense of humor, I can't wait to hear what he has to say about the pictures I have saved on mine...

I hate victims who respect their executioners

2. She’s obviously Web savvy. She knows how to save as well as attach jpegs and other files. Granted, in this case, she chose the wrong one. But clearly, the skill set is there. Plus, she has her own Tumblr, which brings me to point three in this woman’s favor.
I was going to say how dumb this part was, but then I thought about it and realized she would probably be the most technically proficient woman I know.
