It's the kind of video that makes you snort whatever it is you're drinking out of nostrils. And even better that it's city banker CV-gone-pop culture. It was taken off of YouTube pending legal action but now it's back up here. It's the unintentionally hilarious CV video of a wannabee Wall Street slicker and full time alpha male, Aleksey Vayner.
And what a specimen he is. Marvel as he lifts a whopping 495-pound weight. Thrill as he serves a tennis ball at a super-fast 140mph. Amaze as he performs a rather impressive rotating jump while skiing (this may be a fake clip). And - deep breath - swoon as he ballroom dances with a half-naked babe whilst dressed in skin tight black all-in-one suit (not strictly all-in-one, but makes better copy). The video finishes with Aleksey smashing a pile of bricks with one hand. It's cringe-poetry in motion.
I imagine that, just like Rex in Napoleon Dynamite, he can defend himself with the strength of a grizzly, has the reflexes of a puma, and the wisdom of a man, too. Well, maybe not the wisdom.
Potential Wall Street employers allegedly put the video online, and - boom - started a blog storm that doesn't look like it's going away any time soon. It's schadenfreude on a massive level - and I just love schadenfreude, baby.
