I was once given thirty seconds to come up with synonyms for information, which I did. Then I was asked come up with antonyms for fast and furious starting with the letter p, I came up with pudgy and pleased. Then I was asked to tell my life story in twenty seconds. I refused. The interview ended.

Good on you for refusing to participate. Is this company still around? Did you say anything in your refusal besides, "No?" How did they react to your refusal?

That's funny. Are you serious? Was that all they asked you?

That's all I remember being asked. I guess they saw themselves as pioneers of creativity, but as they were something of an obscure start-up, this wasn't totally clear to prospective interviewees. So I went in there expecting a serious interview, but got nonsense. It's funny now, but I was pissed at the time. Drove eight hours, booked a hotel, and wore a suit for nothing.

LOL. I wish the writers of South Park read this... This is material for a very hilarious episode...(Cartman would be the interviewer :)
