A young man posted an advertisement in the Facebook group "Empleos Habana Cuba" looking for work as a messenger or delivery person. He shared a photo of his vehicle and another personal one. His post did not have the desired effect, but it became one of the spiciest and most entertaining spectacles on Cuban social media this weekend.
Ricardo Alcántara shared a casual photo, a selfie in front of the mirror, showcasing a tattoo of Madara Uchiha, the iconic villain from the anime Naruto, and his physical appearance made the comment section completely overlook the work-related purpose of the announcement.
The post accumulated 1,248 reactions in the group and sparked an avalanche of responses that fell into well-defined categories: unapologetic admirers, anime fans, and a few skeptics with a sense of humor.
Among the comments that received the most support, there was one that garnered all the applause: “And what do you distribute? Divorces?” Another Cuban expressed: “For things like this, God doesn't give me money, because if He did, I’d keep it myself.”
An anonymous participant has been saving since they saw the ad: "I'm going to start a business just to hire you."
Anime fans have formed their own front. One of them summarized the situation honestly: "I don't have a job for you, but I do want to comment on how awesome your Madara tattoo is." Another raised their voice: "Just for having that Madara Uchiha tattoo, you're already a silverback alpha male."
A woman tried to help the unemployed man, although with a double meaning that didn't go unnoticed: "If you get hired as a messenger, you can charge high without any issues, my friend. No one will be upset when they see you arriving with the package."
A internet user investigated the candidate thoroughly: "He has a great body, looks good, is well-educated, dresses well, is family-oriented, and likes children. He's quite a catch. I checked the profile because I'm curious," she confessed.
The case illustrates a practical lesson that many people learn the hard way in Facebook job groups: choosing the right photo when looking for a job can be just as important as the announcement itself.
An overly striking image can divert attention from the objective and turn a job application into mass entertainment.
It is not the first time that a Cuban offering messaging services has gone viral on social media for reasons unrelated to their work.
In May, Rey Barranco García starred in another similar phenomenon by documenting that he earned 9,000 pesos in just one day doing deliveries in Havana. The difference is that in that case, people talked about the earnings; in this case, no one went that far.
At the end of this note, there was no evidence that the young man had received a formal job offer. However, an anonymous participant made a firm promise: "Wherever you get hired, I will order delivery every day."
