SOME things you don't WANT to highlight on your resume!

When The Island was released this past summer, it was accompanied by the following tagline:
From the Director of Pearl Harbor and Armageddon
...which is Michael Bay (pictured, as indicated by Mr. Cranky, counting to five). Mr. Cranky describes The Island in the following manner:
Writing about an improved Michael Bay film is kind of like writing about an improved Holocaust.
But I think what really causes us to emote here are the facts that (a) Michael Bay is being advertised as the force behind The Island, and (b) they're doing it by referring to a couple of Bay's previous borderline turds. (I know -- I myself rate Armageddon as average, but my son is gently and firmly convincing me to lower my own rating.)

The lesson is simple: when you are putting out a resume, you must consider your audience first, and decide what among your accomplishments will be welcome reading in the audience's eyes. Then ditch the rest with extreme prejudice.
