As Raw Story has done, delightfully, with Michael Brown’s application to work for FEMA. Below, a sample of Brown’s application (helpful proofreading marks provided by us at no additional cost):
And, hilariously, they did it again on the next page. Simple error? More likely: FEMA’s subconscious demonstration of resentment at losing its independence to a de[a]partment that, while a completely useless and nightmarish bureaucratic cesspool of money, you’d hope has a few secretaries on staff who can proofread these things.

Brownie only made 149k and he had to take that horrible public beating? There is a God.

Uh, when you pull out the ultimate nerd insult, the typo, you at least should make sure your correction is correct. The typo appears to be that "ap" was written instead of "pa." Deaprtment instead of Department, not Deapartment.
