Earn Six Figures for Living in Paradise

Now this is my kind of job. The state government of Queensland, Australia, is offering a one-of-a-kind employment opportunity to some lucky bastard out there. In return for living in a beach house on a tropical island for six months—and reporting to a worldwide audience via weekly blogs, photos, and videos—the individual will receive about $105,000.

From Yahoo.com:
The successful applicant, who will stay rent-free in a three-bedroom beach home complete with plunge pool and golf buggy, must be a good swimmer, excellent communicator and be able to speak and write English.

"They'll also have to talk to media from time to time about what they're doing so they can't be too shy and they'll have to love the sea, the sun, the outdoors," said acting state Premier Paul Lucas.

I will happily murder anyone the Australian government directs me to in order to have this job. However, I will also have to negotiate a state supply of about 1,000 condoms.
