Well, do you? Nintendo of America is currently hiring! Looking at the list of responsibilities and requirements, it seems like being Reggie's assistant would be one hell of a hard job. What sticks out at me especially is the one requirement: "Ability to relay information with tact and diplomacy." So does that mean that if you give Reggie any bad news, you might end up the victim of a vicious wiimote beating? Sincerely doubt it, but it's funny as hell to imagine.

Hit the jump for the requirements for the job.

Good job Poetic.

I agree with Snaileb. It's not just some screen grab off a transvestite porn site or off the TV.

Reggie Fils-Ape, that's what I call the guy.

Lookit him, that donkey-kongesque jawline, he even has to hold his arms up in the air to stop his knuckles dragging on the ground.

"Ability to relay bananas with tact and diplomacy" more fookin' loike it.

This is my chance. All day long I'll do his bidding, and at night, I'll start typing memos out from his office PC...
