Dukes of Hazzard Blogger Earns $100k
We reported a couple of months back that there was $100,000 available for a blogger to blog about Dukes of Hazzard. It seems that Country Music Television has appointed their ProBlogger:
‘Yes, Christopher Nelson’s new job, which comes with a $100,000 salary and a one-year contract, will be to watch reruns of “The Dukes of Hazzard” weeknights on the Country Music Television cable channel and write blog postings for the network’s Web site….
For his application, Nelson created a fictional character, called Slick, and a Web site to support Slick’s candidacy for the position, slickforvp.org (currently unavailable).
The site featured the mustachioed Slick (the clean-shaven Nelson dressed in a black Western-style outfit with fake mustache) standing in front of private jet digitally “painted” to resemble the General Lee.
Slickforvp.org also laid out Slick’s positions on a number of social issues. Most of the planks in Slick’s “campaign platform” could be considered offensive to a significant number of people, so we’ll just share one… “Legalize prostitution as long as it’s in an RV…” and leave it at that….’

If they ever have an opportunity like this for Star Trek, Stargate, House, Lost, Smallville, Simpsons, 70’s show… I will take it… Even at 1/3rd the money.
