What won't they put on TV these days?
I got this job ad via our department's listserv and I had to share:
"ARE YOU A HISTORY BUFF WITH A DESIRE FOR ADVENTURE?
BRAINBOX ENTERTAINMENT is casting stunt junkie, history buffs to host a new television series. If you are not afraid of physical stunts, and would love to experience history first-hand, then this may be your chance of a lifetime! We are seeking both males and females, all ethnicities. But you must be an adrenaline junkie and be fascinated by history. Are you a carpenter? Are you a culinary artist? Please let us know what you abilities and special interests are-- this is what will make you an asset to this team!"
All I can figure is that they must not know a lot about their target employees. History graduate students, by and large, are not "adrenaline junkies," nor are they likely to be skilled in carpentry (as that involves, I understand, wielding some pretty serious tools with great precision without being maimed).
