I have a 10meg PDF resume (4 pages with lots of pictures, hyperlinks, and partial nudity). It has gotten positive responses about 60% of the time, but they are generally very positive. Having a resume that doesn't please everybody, and stands out from the pack, is valuable. Even the 40% who didn't like it will remember it.

...although I did have one CEO try and bill me for the ink it used for the hardcopy.

It's meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but some employers didn't quite get it.

Reminds me of X Inside, now known as Xi Graphics. They make X servers.

But, they kept getting applications from people trying to get into the adult film industry. Hence at least one of the motivations for the name change.
