So...turns out Intel has decided to hire a new "director of creative innovation." That very job title could easily be described as bullshit, but Intel has hired the most logical person for the job. Black Eyed Peas frontman Will I Am.

Yes, the man responsible for the audio atrocities known as "Boom Boom Pow" and "Imma Be" is now an executive at a major computer processing manufacture company. They try to wave it away to people who know shit about computers with the concept that since "'Nearly everything'" he does "'involves processors and computers'" (the most blatant admission of overusing auto-tune I've ever heard from a pop star) he's a perfect fit.
That's great, Will. Now, explain how that translates into KNOWING HOW A PROCESSOR IS DEVELOPED. Why does the fact that you use computers for daily life, which at least 90% of Americans also do by the way, mean you know anything about how they are made? Why is it that there are literally hundreds of Americans with computer science degrees who just so happen to not have jobs, but this jackass is the hire for this job?
Why, Intel, why?
