Creative astrology

joyfulchicken's picture

Saw this job ad for an astrology writer on Craigslist. Do you see anything wrong with it?

*PART TIME CREATIVE WRITER (Work from Home)* We are seeking a part-time writer to write astrology-type forecasts. Excellent creative writing skills are more important than knowledge of astrology. There will also be a few assignments writing advertising copy for new services.

What? "Excellent creative writing skills are more important than knowledge of astrology"? Hahaha! Did this guy just unwittingly admit that his brand of astrology is pure bullshit? Oh well, at least he's honest.

"According to your star sign stuff, you'll soon meet the woman of your dreams...." "Huh? But I'm gay!" "Uh.... Oh yay, you'll get to meet Barbra Streisand? Congratulations!"

No chickens in the comic???
_____
My new blog (even I don't know why I need it)

joyfulchicken's picture

Yup :-P

The chickens are on vacation.

Looks like someone just did

Looks like someone just did an update ;P

No chicken in the comic, I noticed too. I have a feeling you're not gay. Because the woman of a gay's dreams would be Cher, not Barbra Streisand. Pwhihihihi.

joyfulchicken's picture

Oh right, Cher :-(

But isn't Streisand a gay icon too? Gay people are so confusing.

why cher?

although she does look like a tranny... i thought gay icon would be like boy george or george michael or elton john....?

joyfulchicken's picture

Too many choices

Why can't they just pick one? Tsk.

everyone's looking for the chicken..

the employer's smart though. i'd prefer having someone who tells people what they wanna hear than someone who tells real predictions.

joyfulchicken's picture

That's true

Lying to people is a great way to make money >:)

Amen.

Amen.

No chickens

I almost thought it was a comic strip you grabbed from the web :P

I like the crystal ball with a star :)

joyfulchicken's picture

The crystal ball with a star...

you know what it reminds me of? Um, you know how some magazines and newspapers censor nipples with stars? Heh....

neko-chan's picture

Haha!

Somehow hearing you say that, I see old superhero comics in my head.

joyfulchicken's picture

Hmm

I guess it looks like a Dragon Ball too.

neko-chan's picture

Really?

I don't watch Dragon Ball so I wouldn't know. You got me started on anime. I was trying to stop myself from saying it looks like the akuma stars from D Grayman.

joyfulchicken's picture

Akuma what from what?

Yay, I know nothing about anime :-D

hahaha

i actually had a part-time job like this a few months back. only mine was worse. it was love horoscopes. i had to constantly use words like honeybunch and sweetiepie. hahah makes me cringe just thinking about it.

neko-chan's picture

Haha!

Why do you need to use those words? You only use them with your other half, no?

joyfulchicken's picture

Hmm, maybe

he had to pretend to be the readers' honeybunch :-D What a horrible job.

neko-chan's picture

Eeeeack

Horrible indeed. Hmm...honeybunch...honeybunches of oats...no wonder the word makes me hungry.

Ah-ha!

Interesting job~~~

:P

joyfulchicken's picture

Yeah

Writing crap and getting paid for it = nice.

Bee's picture

You should apply,

but you'd probably write depressing stuff. Suicide rates will skyrocket.

"I see you're still trying to convince yourself that she loves you. You poor naive thing. Do you know where she is now?"

carnifex's picture

I think JC is better than that

He'd write something along the lines of "You will send all your money and food to me today without any hesitation or questions asked."

My new blog (even I don't know why I need it)

joyfulchicken's picture

Both of you may be right

I can say something like, "your life is hopeless, so you might as well give me all your money and kill yourself."

chickenmafia.com rocks

yo
I do not agree with what you wrote really....
please explain in detail a bit more for me :d

thank you
