Searching for work in a tough economy and wanting to stay in his native Ireland, Jobless Paddy has adopted an unorthodox approach for attracting the attention of potential employers. The 20-something, whose real name is Feilim Mac An Iomaire, has been garnering buzz from his billboard that reads, "Save Me from Immigration." The ad features Mac An Iomaire gazing at three iconic international pieces of architecture -- among which are the statue of Liberty in New York City and the Sydney Opera House.
