So, am I the only one here who feels like this is an obvious (and funny) parody? Or are all the "serious" comments critiquing the video/website/C.V. just another level of irony?

The only way I'd hire this guy is if it was a parody. As a parody, it's pretty good, but as an actual reverse resume it just seems really weird. I'm sure he'll get a bunch of offers from other companies besides Google. I just don't see this type of stuff fitting in with Google's personality.

It seems to be done either genuinely or as part of some larger campaign to promote himself / see if he "could" get an interview: http://matthew-epstein.com/land-a-job-at-google-journey/

the "waah I didn't get to play all my cards" thing is weird. he wanted a google interview, he got a google interview, holster your guns matthew, the fight's over

I think you are. I took the mustache very seriously.

how would he sit on the inflated round armchairs in this suit? i mean is he dressed appropriately for a technology company?

Well, he's not wearing pants so on average he's dressed "casually"

Well, maybe he is trying to create a hoax... Hahaha, Not sure really. If he is being serious this uncertainty will be his main problem...

But the concept and so the site are just funny. Hahaha.

i dig it -- isn't that the desired action he wants the user to take?

I loved the arrogance of that sentence. It matches the mustache and the faux cognac connoisseur so well :D
