It's late, ie time for shitposting.

I found this ad
>http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/wri/2227725672.html
And submitted the following cover letter. I will post the response I certain to get later.

TAKE DOWN YOUR LISTING,
YOUR SEARCH IS OVER

I have little relevant experience, but I am a fantastic writer. See how you're intrigued? I can do that to your customers. It's called shock value. Bam. Try it some time.

Qualifications:
>I have no college education save three semesters at BLANKETY COLLEGE I spent taking art classes. I never went to these classes, instead spending my time watching James Bond films in the library. I have seen every James Bond film.
>I can write good original content. I believe this email speaks to that.
>I make no mistakes. Check this email. Flawless.
>I have an active online presence. I write a web comic called BLANKETY BLANK. It has garnered a huge amount of views for a web comic so half-assed.
>I have no marketing or public relations experience except that I am a socialist, and I see every advertisement and press release an attack on my dignity and naturally I think about that type of thing a lot.
>I have no idea how you are used to marketing Poketo, thus every idea I have on the matter will be one from a fresh perspective.
>I've been using computers since my father first stole one from his work when I was a child. I was making complicated spreadsheets in elementary school. I was one of those kids.
>You want someone smart, capable, creative, funny, and free-spirited. Ask yourself, does that sound like the type of person that went to college?

I'm online in a few places in addition to the web comic mentioned above:
>BLANKED OUT
>BLANKETY

In reading my cover letter, you may think that I am not being serious. This is not true. I want to work for you. You may also think that if I really wanted the job, I would present my qualifications and resume plainly. This is also not true. If I sent you a copy of my resume with a straight forward cover letter, I would not get the job. The ridiculousness of this cover letter is a testament to my interest.

aw tofu, good luck with the job. if they ask for references i can write a letter certifying that you are my favorite "trip fag" on a literature discussion subforum of a message board that also hosts pictures of clear girls with giant penises raping one another

Well, you did get quads.

Good luck, Tofu, I sincerely hope you get the job.

Also, would you mind posting your webcomic? I understand your reticence to associate it with 4chan but I would definitely read it.

Wow, incredibly outside-the-box. My favourite outside-the-box moment of your application is when you didn't take it seriously at all. I'm sure they'll be mightily impressed by that. Just what they're looking for (not actual ability and a serious attitude towards the job, that would be ridiculous). They'll never see it coming.

Oh, that would make me really uncomfortable knowing that this trip and that webcomic were associated, tbh. I dunno. Post an email. It really is half-assed, though.

You would really link this site to potential employers? And then to 4chan? They wanted catchy shit for marketing, not shit outright.

To each his own I guess.

Wordpress with Comicpress, I believe, is the traditional one
