So I was looking at Writing/Editing jobs as I am wont to do.... and this made me laugh out loud. It also made me think bad thoughts about democracy, for a minute, but mostly... it made me laugh.
"I am need someone that is VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE in writing. This person MUST know how to write very well, i am running for a public office and need help writing my political ad, that will descibe me. If it goes good, I may have the party write more. ( I have already wrote some stuff but it needs to be corrected and revised) it is like three paragraphs long. Send me your experiences."

Jesus fucking christ. If they're new to the English language, I guess they could still be a qualified candidate for whatever office it is they're running for, but if they're a native speaker... good lord.
