This LinkedIn profile is just… awesome!

UPDATE: This was in fact part of a more elaborate April Fool’s joke pulled by LinkedIn itself. When accessing the ”People you may know” page, one would be presented with some unlikely connections, like Robin Hood, JRR Tolkien or Albert Einstein.

It’s also a trending topic on Twitter and has already got the attention of music-mogul Simon Cowel. Not bad for the reported $2.000 paid to Ark Music Factory for the production of the video. And again thanks to the Internet, we now we can all enjoy the parodies.

O’Driscoll’s 25th try sets the new record that was held by Ian Smith since 1933.

Here are BOD’s 25 tries in the Six Nations’ Championship:

I suppose this is, together with denying England the Grand Slam, somewhat of a consolation prize for the otherwise disappointing Irish campaign in this years Six Nations’.
