Today's LOLjob: "paper company", eh?

http://jobs.perl.org/job/8016

Let's see:

  • Yellow flags:
    • Company name written in lowercase
    • Entire job spec contained within ad
  • Red flags:
    • Email address a GMail address, even though this is supposedly a paper company
    • Googling this company's name returns no relevant hits
    • Mention of "bids"
    • "We'll pay you via PayPal"

Edit: Looks like j.p.o shot it down already, which is the first time I've seen em apparently yank a dumb ad. (Not that they get a lot of dumb ads, them not exactly being Craig's List.) Nice going! Too bad I didn't get a screenshot, though...

Yup! It took me a minute, despite the enormous quantity of season 1 [livejournal.com profile] spooky_thing and I watched this weekend. But then it made me very happy.
