Cards Against Humanity mimics Spotify by offering Obama a job

Cards Against Humanity is on the hunt for a new CEO and it appears they want former US President Barack Obama for the job.

The only problem here is that the stunt from the popular card game brand is reminiscent of a gag pulled by Spotify only two weeks ago, in which it offered Obama the job of “President of Playlists”.

In a job posting on Craiglist, Cards Against Humanity said it’s looking for someone with a “minimum of eight years’ experience as President of the United States of America,” who ideally is a “recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize”.

While it didn’t reference Obama by name, it’s pretty clear he’s the only one cut out for the job – a similar strategy to Spotify’s ad posting.

Copycat or coincidence? We’ll let you be the judge:
