Junkyard Wars Wants You!

Dan Messinger writes "Bring On The Junk! Junkyard Wars is looking for new contestants to compete on the 2003 series. Teams of contestants are given ten hours to build a machine to solve a specific challenge using parts they salvage from a junkyard. In contrast to previous seasons, this year we are looking for individual applicants who are skilled at putting together sophisticated machinery and not afraid of getting their hands dirty. Successful candidates will possess a strong background in engineering, fabrication and a good mechanical 'know how.' Junkyard Wars wants applications from people of all ages, races, creeds, colors, sexes, religions, and sexual orientations, as well as people with physical disabilities. We are especially interested in applications from women and/or people of color, as previous crops of contenders have been underrepresented among these groups. Lots of kids watch Junkyard Wars and we want to show them that anyone can grow up to be the world's greatest mechanic or engineer! If you think you match the description or you know of someone who does - please log onto our website and apply: you will find the application forms as well as all of the information that you need regarding applying. Application deadline is February 28, 2003."

Why must I be trapped in this caucasian-male-between-the-ages-of-18-and-35-years -old body? All this PC shit sucks! I'm in the key demographic but I now I won't be able to compete?! Sucks to that!

you've always had the right to vote, never been someone's property or indiscriminately hung from trees

Hmmm, just like everyone else in the U.S. Nope, no consolation.

Apparently, they DON'T want me

i'm a German-American aerospace engineer - so apparently, so they ob-fscking-ously don't want me.

I'm going to put this one up on my wall of fame...right next to the time i had a black 4-star general tell me that the Air Force still has a problem with diversity.

Jesus tapdancing Christ - GET OVER YOUR SKIN COLOR.

(before you think i'm totally nuts - i do live in Los Angeles... the race-baiting capital of the world... and where lighter-skin-colored-European-Americans are by far becoming the smallest minority)
