Roomie and I were watching an episode of Torchwood that we'd taped, when the Tide Superbowl commercial came on again (scroll down). The following conversation ensued...
Me: "I love this commercial! Probably one of the most effective commercials I've ever seen. Gets the message across fast. We can all relate."
Roomie: "Sure... I bet it'd be the same if you went to an interview wearing a shirt with the nipples cut out. You know, wear a regular blazer over top, but when you get into the interview room..."
Okay, at this point, I stopped listening to him, as I tend to do when he takes the conversation to a whole new level of crazy.
But I had to wonder what would happen if you did wear a cut-out shirt... would the interviewer mention it?... if so, would you pretend you didn't know what he/she was talking about?... would you get escorted out by security?... or would you actually get the job BECAUSE of it?
Try it out... and let me know...
Of Stains and Nipples...

Hi. I'm 
7 comments - LEAVE YOURS HERE...:
I supposed it would depend upon the nature of the job you're being interviewed for.
As an aside, how exactly am I supposed to respond in a "mature & reasonable manner" (your "Leave your comment" instructions) to such a topic?
:-P
@harmzie -
good question :) you know, I'm not really sure...
I am so happy I don't go on interviews anymore.
o god I can tell it what a full moon last night.
I just tried it. And yes, the interviewer told me that I was being hired based on the quality of my nipples. Not sure what he meant, but now I have a great job with a bright future. Thanks LifeCandy!
@mrs.mogul -
you and me both, girlfriend!
@ali khan -
unfortunately, I wrote that the night before... I have no excuses! :)
@paul -
you are welcome, my friend!... my work is done :)
Tee hee! Torchwood and nipples!
I've really got nothing else to contribute I guess... but I'd guess in some business it might actually get you the job. Of course, it depends on the gender or preferences of the interviewer. ;)
