Mark SmithLeon, a healthy percentage of folks think it's odd for grown men and women to collect bb cards (my wife constantly reminds me of this). When interviewing for highly competitive jobs, it could be disadvantageous or even fatal to have something odd pop up in a Google search.
Among qualified candidates in my line of work, the job usually goes to who the interviewers unanimously believe they would get along with best. If I were interviewing two otherwise equal candidates and I learned that one was passionate about collecting Smurf figurines or McDonalsds Happy Meal toys, I might hire the other guy.
