As fun as that was to read, I would never apply.

The type of person who is attracted to this position will be a very unique person, to say the least.

It's your typical IT position, just clearly defined. I have no intentions of applying (comfortable where I am, TYVM), but if I were looking for an IT position, I would not dismiss this one just for their honesty.

Perhaps that was the point. Someone may not want this job to be filled for whatever reason?

I would say it was the point, but not for the shady reason you think. Rather, it ensures that people applying know what they are getting into immediately. Quite a good pre-filter.

It could be a job posting to satisfy the requirements of PERM (http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/perm.cfm )
