This Is Really Funny ... But

Why and how is this guy getting away with it? As you are about to see, Aleksay Vayner, a student at Yale (class of '07), sent a video resume of himself to various Wall Street firms and banks. The video is a magnificent - perhaps unprecedented - example of Ass-Douchery™. You can't make this stuff up - except apparently he did. Ivygate has a breakdown. Here's a copy of his resume. Here's a link to the "book" he lists on his resume. Amazing. So is this a prank?
