tricky wording there

The winner will receive a one-year salary

Does this mean that the winner gets the opportunity to work for a salary, and for a year at the minimum? Because it sounds to me like either you get the one year’s worth up front or you get paid regardless of job performance.

On an unrelated note:

and passion for Comcast products and services makes you the perfect candidate for the job.

We may need you to occasionally talk about how awesome Tebow is and related subjects, therefore we need to know that you can lie convicingly

yeah

the passion bit is where the cereal came flying out the nose. does $150/month count as “passion” or do i need to paint myself two-tone and make a sign?

In addition to the 1 year salary

I’d like it if you just let me pay for only CSNNW and maybe two other channels for $12-15 per month.

i like it here, there, everywhere.

My video entry would be a guy parked on the couch...

with CSNW playing on the TV while furiously tapping away on his smartphone. Occasionally pausing to say, Hi, Hey, Hold on, One sec I gotta retweet this… Unfortunately i’m not enough of a media * to pull this off and with “passion for Comcast products”. I’ve been to the service center in Beaverton… DMV is quicker.

My only reaction

when I see Comcast mentioned on Blazersedge is “Will this help me get Blazer games at less than an arm and two legs? No? Go back to hell where you came from!!!”

Probably not the reaction they were looking for.

Holding out for Devyn
