'Bullet proof' baseball caps...Why do I get the feeling this is going to turn out to be Darwin's latest gadget to cleanse the gene pool....  rubschin:

I can imagine the carnage in the deep south where deaths among rednecks have exponentially grown as they can't tell the difference between an armoured baseball cap and a $2 one from Wallmart  lol:

A part time job where the 'lucky' candidate would be shot with paintballs for 2 hours a day with just a pair of goggles as safety equipment?

Quote
The advertised role states that whilst the paintball gun shots will be carried out and monitored by trained professionals with a wealth of experience, the role may pose a small risk of pain, discomfort and some bruising.

The job advert also states that the successful applicant may also occasionally have to wear limited items of clothing whilst the paint bullets are being tested, in order to research some "worst case" scenarios.

The successful applicant will be required to stand on the spot whilst paint balls are fired at them, but they won't have any protective gear and may also occasionally be required to be shot at with paint balls whilst in motion, such as when walking, running or jumping.

The job has flexible working hours, around one to two hours a day, and a pro rata salary of £40,000.

Just who are the 10k idiots who applied for this??  eeek:

Quote
Comments in the applications included:

"I'm a rugby player and I used to play airsoft without protection so I know physical pain. I can also break watermelon with my head.

"I always dreamed of being face-covered by paint while screaming so I think I can be the perfect tester."
