LOLCode developer want-ad

Further to yesterday's post on LOLCode, a programming language based on LOLCat dialect, this Craigslist ad for LOLCode developers (yes, probably not a real want-ad, but it's New York, anything is possible. If you can write LOLCode there, you can write LOLCode anywhere).

YOU CAN HAS CHEEZEBURGER?
YOU HAS A FLAVUR?

If so, you may be the right fit for this Midtown Manhattan Web Design Startup! We are a small company looking for a Senior LOLCode Developer, preferably with at least 1 month experience developing LOLapps. Please send a resume, along with links to any web-based LOLapps you have developed.

KTHXBYE

Link (Thanks, Sam!)

This is almost scary. It only takes a tiny developer community to make something like this real.

And if sufficiently motivated, or amused, small groups of fanatics can take over the development landscape.

I mean, for example, look at Lisp, the lisp community is impassioned and ...

Oh, right, they have absolutely no power or influence. Never mind the false alarm.

This is pretty much real. I responded to the ad, had a nice interview over the phone and was offered the job. I rented a uhaul and am presently in the process of packing up my life to move to New York to pursue the dream.

At least I hope its real. It sounded like I wouldn't be able to get my deposit back on that apartment in Manhattan.

Mycophage, that's why they need you to write their lolcode!

Any chance this is an ad put out by Google? Basically if you can learn LOLCode so quickly:
1) You are a fast learner and know computer science. (If you know cs fundamentals, you can pick up most languages by learning syntax)
2) Google has been known to put out ads like this to target a specific audience
3) If you are writing LOLCode Apps, you have a pation for CS.

I'm not saying it is. I'm just saying that I wouldn't be surprised.
