Emma Watson Interview for a Software Developer Position

Emma Watson is a 1990-born British creator, activist, actress, and model, who rose to fame playing Hermione in the Harry Potter films, and (quoting from the Wikipedia page):

In October 2013, she was voted Sexiest Female Movie Star in a worldwide poll conducted by Empire magazine. In May 2014, BuzzFeed dubbed her the “most flawless woman of the decade”.

Who will ride Princess Celestia next?

As an example, we can imagine a young girl to write a funny screenplay using GitHub or Google Docs which pits Emma Watson vs. Kim Kardashian on who gets to ride Princess Celestia next, with Darth Vader and Haman as two "evil", but mutually hating one another, arbiters. Might seem ridiculous, but if I didn't want entertainment in my life, then I'd go watch grass grow. It will be a legal and “ethical” minefield, but I'd bet it'd be easier to follow and more entertaining than Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" was even shortly after LotR was written.
