Unfortunately, they probably think they're being hip or funny or something. Yecch.

Because sociopaths make the best employees!

....yeah.

. . . why would a sociopath care about creating an audience?

[firecat]

So they could get something they wanted, presumably. But so they could help the company? Not so much.

Because we want a powerful monster we can control, and that kind of thing has never turned out badly in the past.

Also: I'm pretty sure what they mean is "attracting an audience", which is very different from creating one.

no it's always perfect *snort*

"Also: I'm pretty sure what they mean is "attracting an audience", which is very different from creating one."

nah, you forgot the monster part. They may even have some spare parts around for the author to use in creating them.

the ad seeks someone sociopathic who will create an audience... Even if they have to breed it all by themselves: parthenogenic.
