sig spot yo

interesting offer!

Like you would be looking for someone on GFY. FAKE.

WORD!

Jesus!

lensman can confirm if this is real.

why wouldn't playboy post here?

F-u-c-k P-l-a-y-b-o-y

long ass post..

I would only do it if i got to fuck all the bunnies... AT ONE TIME!

I think it is them looks very good.

i don't think it the playboy post
it the fact that "playboy" only has one post

I will take the job as long as I can work from home

<pulp fiction>

english mutha fucka, do you speak it?

</pulp fiction>

Hmmm, seeing as how adult.com runs a few of playboys online sites and also happens to run this forum, it might make sense that a rep from the company would post here on a suggestion from Lensman. Just a thought.

However, I am not saying this is real or fake, a confirmation or denial from Lensman is the only way to know for sure.

What does surprise me is the fact that the name Playboy went unregistered until today.

any questions.... see sig

:glugglug

too long to be fake

edit: see sig

Like someone would sit and write that all out, let alone thing it all out, if it wasn't legit. Awesome opportunity for someone :)

yeah, no shit....that was the first thing I thought

I agree :thumbsup

exactly.

Sounds like a kick ass position.

I believe it's the second position they post her looking for resumés & applicants - why wouldn't they? How many members & lurkers have the qualifications, knowledge & ability to fill the position? I'd say there are at least 10 - whether they are presently working or not - still a good place to find the right person. Also, let's not forget they have ties with Lensman.

That's a lot of thought for a fake post guys, this is obviously real.

Working for playboy. Who wouldn't want too?

it really isn't as grande as your head is making it out to be...LOL...i have been to their offices a few times...just like any other offices...and no, there aren't stripper poles and naked chicks in the break room

I can do this.

Awesome, opportunity for someone

wow! that's a nice offer :)

Nice offer for the right person
:thumbsup

"playboy" Who is that? Is that "MY" mister you know who? Or someone else?

BTW you failed to mention how much bank you're talking. I wouldnt want that position in a million years just because I think I could make more with what I do now. I know some people that might qualify though if you wanna give me a ding.

Exactly. Some people are fucking clueless shouting "Ohhhhh working at playboy is greeeeeaaaat"

:1orglaugh

I would think that handing a girl a card that said you work at Playboy is almost a sure fire way to get you laid. Right?
:winkwink:

I sales stuff :thumbsup

Well, I went through all of their requirements and I fit the bill plus I have the bonus of working in TV for 10 years, 2 in acquisitions... before adult that is.

But now I like being my own boss.

hmmm, I'd take PB on as a client any day tho ;)

you are totally correct ...what it boils down to ...is....... W... O... R... K...

:1orglaugh

is that some kind of a real thing?

They get breaks? It keeps getting better and better.

I never said anything about why it would be nice to work for playboy.

Playboy is running on a pretty big budget. I'm sure they take pretty good care of their employee's.

Assuming that they had strippers or naked centerfold models just walking around the office would be stupid.

Would be great for productivity though wouldn't it?
Employee's who never left the office, and never didn't any work while at the office.

Great job opportunity if you're into the corporate lifestyle.

However most everyone here is an entrepreneur and I doubt any would want to put on the collar and leash ever again.

Once you're your own boss its tough to do anything else.

Bingo.

I love you man.THis is like the last place on the internet to look.

Interesting offer...

http://www.entertainmentcareers.net/...rprises,%20Inc. More jobs at playboy...

Thats a very interesting offer, nothing for me though.....

BAHHAHAHA funny

Yes, that was also my first take on the situation.....

Yea, wonder why THOSE jobs weren't listed here?
Perhaps they didn't feel they would find the candidates on GFY?
:)

But hey, "Playboy been good to me."

I wish 'em luck, but as some other member here wrote, nothing gonna make me put the yoke on again. (And I didn't wear it very long before I realized I hated it.)

I'd rather be a "po' bidniss man," than a rich executive with a gilded collar. But if you had to wear a collar, a bunny collar would certainly be a comfortable and fuzzy one, now wouldn't it?

:thumbsup

good luck to whoever closes the job.
