In case you were thinking the spelling mistakes come from a dirty phrasebook [1]: the German part of the website is just as awful.

Can someone screenshot it? It refuses to display the content in IE10.
Yet another website that doesn't understand some people rent their soul, and as a result, have to use IE. However I am using IE10, so I'm not sure what features they are using for a job advert that apparently requires a more modern browser. Are they just saying its WebKit or nothing?
Seriously sick of this hipster shit. Some surveys put IE as the number 1, others its number 2. Why are you ignoring that much of the world for some stupid political point. It isn't good idea to have the web running off one rendering engine.

Quotes - female add
Beautiful and sexy code required.
We are convinced that woman are great programmers. Woman write sexy code: neat and clean. Many of them have long relationship... with PHP5, MySQL and Javascript. They like to talk and communication is essential in our work. Female programmers get along with customers very well and take such a good care of code quality, as if it is a pair of their new shoes. The best thing is that their detailed documentation and code organisation match the rules of Feng-Shui. Are you a female programmer with passion? May we invite you for coffee?
Male -
Need for programming
You are addicted to PHP, MySQL and Javascript since years? Your life makes no sence without programming? Your girlfriend doesn't understand, why you start learning the fifth php framework and your parents say, your head is full of unix and linux. Do you want to talk to us about this? We want to invite you to an anonymous or maybe very personal meeting. No worries, we will bring you to a team that understands you and will support your passion of programming.
They both lead to identical detailed jobs description.

So they have created two ads for different sexes that are both tongue in cheek and blink at stereotypes with no ill intentions and that is sexist how?
I don't think they should go to jail for their offense. But it remains to be seen if they will attract female developers that way.
You're an asshole! Oh, you're offended? IT WAS TONGUE IN CHEEK
Hardy ... I cannot get offended. And I am an asshole. Kinda goes with the "spend time on the internet".

Just like writing good code, I can attest to that shitty code is independent of race, gender, eye colour and all that.

But yeah, that was an attempt to be funny that just fell way short.
