 Send to email | Should Supermodels And Code Monkeys Compete For Work? in CSCOGOOGORCLMSFT |  By Silicon
el 13-Jun-2008 |

 Sure, there might be a shortage of tech workers in the U.S. But what about the shortage of freakishly attractive young women suitable for high-end modeling? Believe it or not, the two are related, which is why we're glad to report that a New York Congressman has introduced a bill designed to solve both problems.
Rep. Anthony Weiner's (D-NY) proposed legislation would create a new class of visa, with 1,000 openings, to allow foreign models to work in the U.S. Currently, those models come to this country on ... the same H-1B visa as a programmer from Mumbai
Which means that for every Giselle Bundchen, there's one less coder available for the likes of Microsoft (MSFT), Cisco (CSCO), Oracle (ORCL) and Google (GOOG). Rep. Weiner's clever solution: More models, and more tech guys. Anyone have a problem with that?
