Do you spend your day trolling websites like College Humor and You Tube? Are you the guy always forwarding funny video clips from Gorilla Mask to friends? Do you regularly submit links to Fark?

Perfect. Then we want you.

We're looking for a full-time "writer" to take charge of a new website focused on delivering that type of content to readers. The site is going to be fun, high-energy, conversational, and a little bit dirty with a frathouse mentality. It's going to focus on those videos and images that make everyone laugh, but you need to have a witty writing style as well.

The only "required" experience you need is the knack to scope out these hilarious movie clips and pictures each and every day. Hopefully your email inbox is already a healthy mix of Viagra spam and links to clips of girls wrestling in Jell-O while dressed like Donald Duck.

You'll be required to deliver a pre-determined number of posts each day, Monday thru Friday, so be certain you can make this sort of time commitment. (But certainly it won't take over your day, leaving you free to pursue other opportunities, like waiting tables.)

If you think this gig might be right for you, please send the following:

- Your name and contact info, including a phone number
- A brief bio (Where are you from? Where'd you go to school? What do you do now?)
- Why you know you'll be perfect for this gig
- Six to 12 websites that you regularly visit that carry this type of content
- Two or three LINKS (not actual pictures or movie clips) to items you know will make us spit up our Red Bull
- An estimate of the compenstation you'd require to deliver 10 posts per day, Monday thru Friday (This does NOT mean your contract will necessarily include that number of posts, it's just an estimate)

Do NOT send resumes. In fact, DO NOT SEND FILE ATTACHMENTS of any kind. Doing so will get your email deleted immediately. We're not kidding. All that said, we're not *******s -- we're simply on the search for a talented writer with a keen eye for R-rated hysteria. Perhaps it's you!

this is in or around Manhattan
no -- it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
Compensation: TBD

Dear Sirs:

Please include me for consideration for your the funny man job.

Please turn on any knick telecast and see my hilarious antics.

My physical humor is well documented!

Nate Robinson.
