If
we told you that there was a job that involved feeding fish, looking
hot on a beach, and shooting the breeze on a casual and entirely
trivial blog, and that the job was available and pays a hundred grand for a mere six months of "work,"
and that job was on the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef, how many
rival applicants would you personally bump off to have a better chance
of landing it?
Seriously, though, this job is even more awesome than getting paid $10,000 a week to post nipple slips...
Between NPR coverage, Weird News stories, and the website's
constantly-crashing home page, we were able to cull a top ten list of
reasons to apply for the temporary position:
1) It pays $100,000 a year.
2-10) Holy Christ-- a $100,000 to lounge about in a bathing suit! That's better than having a sugar mama/daddy...
That's no exaggeration-- your job would be to show potential tourists how
freakin' awesome the Great Barrier Reef is and to lure travelers from
all over the world via your lavish and ridiculously enjoyable
lifestyle. Of course, the fine print here isn't the fact that you are a
24/7 spokesperson/model for an island, it's the insanely fierce
competition to even be noticed for an interview in the first place...

A woman in Greece promises - via a scroll of words across the screen -
to wash all of Australia's laundry and even clean up up after the
kangaroos.
Another video shows a woman standing on a street belting out an
original song. Some applicants simply stare at the camera and beg.
On Thursday, a team of 10 people - whom, Hayes noted, were starting to
look "pretty nervous" - were sifting through the 2,000 video
applications the department had already received, with tens of
thousands more expected before the Feb. 22 deadline. [Weird News]
