1) I blame Obama.

2) I have adivorced friend who, several years ago, asked me to watch his little kids while he went to work. His 8yo daughter was trying to send song lyrics to her mom and clicked "attach," which defaulted to the last thing he sent to someone. A beautiful photo of his penis, in all its glory, saluting the camera. Luckily she was distracted by SpongeBob and I hit the "close" button and told her it shut down & I didn't know why. His ex would have jumped on this thing (no pun intended) and in our conservative state he would have lost custody rights. And, yes, I was hugely impressed.

I don't know about y'all, but I do believe that taking naked photos can be a problem and maybe this is stuff best left off the interwebs.

he mistakenly sent two naked selfies over the course of three days to the human resources manager who offered him the position.

What position was that?

(Paging Mikey.....what the hell happened to Mikey??)

Maybe it was a matter of magnitude. With an itty bitty pecker, the manager thought he was a loser. If he was "hung like Holmes", he would have gotten an instant promotion.

What mistake? He thought she was into that sort of thing.

How do these people wash themselves, keep their homes from burning down, and drive from place to place?

This is the new generation, the future of this nation. They'll grow up eventually. They got it harder than our generation, we couldn't screw up so badly by accidentally sending an email to a wrong person, we had to mail a form letter!

Man Accidentally Sends Naked Selfie To HR Manager After Job Offer

"accidentally"

Man Accidentally Sends Naked Selfie To HR Manager After Job Offer

So did Anthony Weiner get the job?

“[Police] advised the offender to cease any contact with the victim,” according to the report.

How exactly is the recipient a "victim"? Does seeing a penis cause blindness? Really, what adult, man or woman, has never seen anyone else's penis in their entire life? If your that sheltered then you need to live in a plastic bubble.

Meanwhile, the same HR employee probably has no problem going through a TSA rape-scanner.

Immediately upon receipt, the HR manager phoned the police. “My understanding is they’ve rescinded the offer of employment,” local police chief Michael Ruth told The Chicago Tribune.

My guess is that they weren't impressed.

Also, somehow I doubt if an attractive 23-year-old woman did this, the offer of employment would be rescinded. She'd probably get a promotion.

Maybe she was an immense hirsute lesbian who was shocked by pictures of a dick?

An IHL would have just regarded it as an average size IHL clitoris and would have asked for more shots.

This guy has obviously not learned the ropes on selfy dick shot etiquette and has paid for his gaffe. Maybe he should write a letter to Miss Manners on the subject.

Political correctness has certainly gone too far in our society. That being said, sending photos over several days is an inappropriate thing to do to the department head who is responsible for ensuring political correctness in the workplace. If he had sent them to someone else it probably wouldn't be that big of a deal

So... the opening went unfilled? ;-)

If we assume it was deliberate, then you have to admire the guy's audacity. He must have huge balls. Hope they were in the photos.

Is there any such thing as a politically correct penis?

It would have to salute the military

Half mast in mourning during Taps?

If someone can't drive a nail with their hard-on, what would inspire anyone to hire them?

Does it count if you can push a pretzel around with it a little bit?

Ceffer says

Half mast in mourning during Taps?

Well played, Ceffer. My only comment would be that it wouldn't be half-mast if it weren't for the gloves.

And I'm never shaking the hand of a member of the military wearing white gloves. At least Michael Jackson was honest, wore one glove and sang "Beat It."

What a gutless douchebag in HR to call the cops on the guy. Are there any straight white males working in HR? It was really stupid thing to do but nobody has a sense of humor anymore and everybody is scared, worried if they didn't report the dummie they'd be accused of being a Jared Fogle.

A lot of women working in HR have never seen an erect penis.

hmmm, there were in fact no straight white males in HR in any of the last 3 companies i worked for.

perhaps this obvious discrimination is the basis for a massive class action lawsuit!

the irony would be delicious.

Or a really thick head - which also would have shown up in the picture.

Perhaps I'm gullible, but I would have assumed it was an accident. Why didn't she just write the guy back, immediately? Something like, "I don't think you meant to send this to me." His response would have clarified his intentions. He probably would have been mortified to learn of his mistake. Why assume the less likely possibility that he's a sicko who likes to sabotage his employability by sending potential employers naked pictures of himself?

Well... he did take pictures of himself naked and texted them to someone....

Dan8267 says

Maybe he felt he had to establish his credentials.

He sent two pictures over the course of three days. The first might have been an accident, but the second was stalker-ish. It also shows that he isn't very tech-savvy, which is necessary in order to effectively communicate in the modern workplace.

Personally, if I had received that first photo, I would have contacted him and asked if the dick pic slip was intentional; and hopefully that would have been the last of it. I don't work in HR, so it really doesn't matter what I would have done. The guy was really stupid and got what he deserved. Hopefully his career will recover and he will be ok.

As has virtually every person who entered adolescence after the invention of the digital, film-less camera.

I guess I just imagined that maybe the HR person has a similar name to someone who is already in his address book... Maybe he thought he was sending the pics to someone else. Since she didn't respond, he didn't realize he had done it, which caused him to compound his mistake. I just find it hard to believe that he would go to the trouble of interviewing for a job... Interview so well that he got the job offer... Then intentionally sabotage his chances at the job for a cheap thrill. I know there are all kinds of people in the world, but it seems illogical... Not that there aren't illogical people in this world.

wow. you really don't get out much, do you....
source any kind of proof or retract this statement.
