      This last one's from Facebook, so I've pasted the whole think in for those of you who haven't signed your soul away... yet.


      "Imagine if someone offered you the editorship of The Economist.
      Well, this is better than that. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. We think the future of the world is in the hands of big corporations. So we want to publish a magazine that will re-define the way that these behemoths think and act. There is no current publishing model for what we have in mind. We only know that it will become one of the leading influences in the way that big businesses address the world.

      Closest in design terms are academic style journals, such as International Finance Review and similar. But we are looking to design something unique, immediately
      recogniseable and very 21st century.

      And we need an editor to help us make that happen. Someone who is ready to challenge everything and set new agendas. Someone who is passionate about forging a fair and radically different society. Someone who thinks slightly differently from the rest of us. Someone with talent. We know we won't find that person in the established world of journalism. We suspect that we may find it in a young man or woman who has just begun their career.

      Let us know if you are interested. Send us a two page manifesto for us to read. It needs to contain only three things. 1. What you would say to the CEO of Nestle if you bumped into him 2. Why you think you have what it takes to help set up the most influential magazine of the 21st century. 3. Your contact details.

      Email the document to us at insider@msn.com. We will call you to set up an interview if we like what you have to say."


      Apologies for the big pile of text.
