Hip-hop by the numbers

Surprised Fumier hasn't posted this yet. It's either very funny or very sad, I can't quite decide which.



According to the Guardian,

... in Hong Kong, the number-crunching profession is making a valiant effort to shake off its dull image - and now the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants' attempt to lure hip young things into the profession with a rap recruitment video is climbing rapidly up the YouTube charts.

The Institute - or 'Tute, as it now apparently refers to itself - has entitled its two-minute video "'Tute in da House", as it aims to persuade kids from Hong Kong's 'hoods to consider a career in accountancy.

The aim, according to the HKICPA, was to show that accounting is a "dynamic profession."

The good news, however, is that The Institute of Chartered Accounts in England and Wales says it has no plans so far to put together its own crew to do battle with Hong Kong's accountant/rappers.

What a shame.

An avid reader did provide the link in a comment, but it's good to know that everyone thinks of me automatically whenever accountants do something daft.
 
haha, that is very funny. I wonder what inspired them to take that COA into getting people into CPA ...

kudos to them for doing something funny and silly ; )
