Poll question: Unemployed, You're Offered a GREAT Job in a "Bad" Industry. Your Choice?
Here's the scenario: you've been out of work for a long time. In fact, you're one day away from being thrown out on the street.

Suddenly, miraculously, at the eleventh hour, you're called by five different companies with a big-paying position as the lead spokesman for their company/industry. Your job will be to make TV and media appearances to evangelize for the industry. There is no chance or charge of/to you changing the industry for the better from within. No. You're going to be paid the big bucks to be an apologist for the industry.

The offers are all identical:

5-year contract
$250,000 base salary per year + perks
10-year non-disclosure confidentiality clause upon end of contract

So, the poll question is: which industry would you become a spokesman for if given the chance?

Vote below:

2. I voted for porn
I hate to say that I think that it is the most ethical. Being the leading spokesperson though would really ruin my reputation. I think that my close friends would understand but I don't know about my grandparents.
Can't I just be a food service worker at the college from where I graduated?

4. I voted for tobacco....because, in the end, people know it's bad for
them when they take their first puff. Although, I really wouldn't want to take any of the jobs. The starving children comment made me do it. :hi:

5. Considering how many wonderful orgasms that porn has given me...
...I'd gladly shill for the industry. Especially for 250 grand a year!

7. This poll made me realize that porn has more ethics and morals
than the government and their buddies.That is a really sad state of affairs.
