A: Because I simply feel that "XX" doesn't show enough DVDA, which is what today's pr0n connoisseur is really after.

DVDA? I'm afraid to look that one up at work

OMG...i looked up DVDA on urbandictionary while at work....lets just say there are 4 men and a woman involved, and the "D"s stand for double...I think im gonna get fired

the interview went well and they called me back the following morning for a 2nd interview with HR... its a sales rep position and the first interview was with 2 store managers so im really nervous about the HR interview since all HR does is hire/fire people lol

i have interviewed many people and canned bullsh*t answers like that dont impress me. what does impress me is honesty and the last guy we hired got hired for honest answers along with his job knowledge. for your question a honest answer would be. because i need a job.

If you looked up "DVDA" on UrbanDictionary from work, based upon a comment mentioning "XXX" and "pr0n connoisseur," and are afraid that you might get fired for what you read, then it would be more than deserved.

Pretty much looking up anything at urban dictionary isn't very safe/smart.

If its a sales job then say you want to make more money. Sales managers love that answer.
