They are even hiring!
That is so cool! (It is a bit scary that I figured it out just by looking at it. I guess I need a life)
#This is the first time in human history that a *billboard* has served as the "first interview".
Wow. EA Canada rocks.
#Its just really cool advertising. I wish I could decode that by just looking at it. I wonder what they'll come up with next. That obviously shows that they also have good skills/a really good relationship in the advertising deptprogrammers dept.
#Almost as good as an ad that says "w3 w4nt m0r3 31337 g4m3z c0d3rz" :-)

Who'd want to work for a place that had such poor programmers?
- Willfully obscure way of expressing something obvious.
- A probable lack of 'static' (if msg has global scope, it needs a better name; if msg is auto, it's inefficient, unless perhaps the plan is to modify it at run time)
- A probably lack of 'const', see above reasoning.
- Dependence on US ASCII encoding
- Failure to use Unicode, only about 10 years after all right-thinking programmers should have got the point (ok, I suppose they could be using UTF-8 as a space-saving representation)
Who would want to work for a company that hired several cinemas and sent all their employees out to watch a LOTR:ROTK screener???

#Um, dave, the array can't be /const/ unless they're *always* hiring - this doesn't seem like a company policy decision that one should make at complie time.
:-)
#I cheated ... think the'd still hire me?
#Dave,
You're the coolest.
Maybe this is a ploy to get all the bad programmers concentrated in one place, thus minimizing their harm to the world at large. Kind of like a nuclear waste dump.
#That's pretty cool.
This is actually effective. Note the second to last paragraph:

1 piss = 1/2 fucking
if we multiply the 2 sides of the equation we will have tantamount equation =>
1 piss = 1/2 fucking /*2 =>
2 pisses = 1 fucking
Nice Pissing :]

Speak to them in their own language. (For the non-programmers, that means "Now hiring".)...

This has got to be the best ad for programmers ever. If I would have seen it, I would have went straight to their office, just to congratulate them. :) For the non-techies: it's an ASCII-coded (...

See it yourself over at Kasia's . The fact that I had to resort to an ASCII table probably means I need not apply :(
