One Helluva Job-Posting

This came across the wire today:

Al Qaeda has put job advertisements on the Internet asking for supporters to help put together its Web statements and video montages, an Arabic newspaper reported.

In the time-honored tradition of satirizing the extremists...I'm just wondering if you're really good at your job, do they still make you go blow yourself up? "No, don't send Mohammed, he's the only copy boy we've got." Or do they just continue to recruit unemployed and disaffected youth? Can you imagine the office dialogue? "Harry, can you get me that sniper footage by Monday, and Sid, do we have any stock footage of Osama? He looks far too pasty in this latest reel."

The paper said the Global Islamic Media Front, an al Qaeda-linked Web-based organization, would "follow up with members interested in joining and contact them via email."

If by some rare chance you're actually interested, it seems that there's no address to which you might send your CV (how do you pad THAT CV? I really, really hate the Americans!). And if you do get through to them, what do you counter their offer with? more virgins in paradise?
The sad part is I'm sure they'll find their new "employees." But I guess if they're going corporate, we can rest assured that they'll end up poisoned by office politics. Go get 'em Dilbert!
