I actually think I might apply for this one.

 

hehe, printdust said bi

 

Whatever that means.

Penthouse says "bicoastal". Does that mean it's a surprise that people in New York and people in California buy this? Is ithat some sort of surprise?

 

I was qualified for it but I respectfully declined.

 

Talk about a job where your writing work is not noticed at all ;D

 

It'd be like an ice cream fanatic getting a job at an ice cream parlor.
You'd get sick of it after getting so much.
Or maybe not.

 

That's true. My first job was working at McDonald's. I got sick of Big Macs after I found out what was in the secret sauce.

 

The line in the description about promoting and representing the magazine with the talent, caught my eye.

 

I would question about how financially stable Penthouse is. I seem to remember there were questions about that last year and reports of late payments. You wonder if they are being affected by the internet.

 

And then . . . there are things you might be able to overlook, you know, for the chance to shape editorial direction and such.

 

as a benefit, do you get to sleep with the female talent?
