Are you white? Speak English? Make money as a fake exec!

Could be a nice way to make some money on the side. I don't think I'm white enough myself. Maybe if I hole myself up in a basement for a few months

Linked article said: The requirements for these jobs are simple. 1. Be white. 2. Do not speak any Chinese, or really speak at all, unless asked. 3. Pretend like you just got off of an airplane yesterday.

Oh man, talk about the perfect job for me. I won't even have to pretend I just fell off an airplane.

Finally something within my abilities! I can finally retire.

Hmmm... I have a passport, I'm white, and I'm unemployed...

(goes to look for Chinese jobs)

I'm down, as long as they don't refer to it as "getting a face job."

I might start advertising my services. Make myself available, like.

"Pasty white guy, naturally disheveled/jet-lagged looking, will conform to any corporate image."

Wonder how a grouchy gray haired old honkie like me would go over?

You took thur jerbs!

I wonder if I'm over-qualified? I'm REALLY freakin' white.

Does that mean I can pretend to be the US VP of the ministry to the king of the world when China decides to call in all their international debt and takes the earth as collateral when no one can pay up? Sweet!!! I knew all that practicing to be fake would pay off one day!

I could do this.

Count me in

Except for the Rhinoliner on your hootus.

odd article said: "There are job opportunities for girls who are pretty and for men who can look good in a suit."

I look good in a gorilla suit...

I have a vision of AWG Industries employee strategy being set up like the Geek Squad. The more you do and better you do it the better uniform you get.

AWG Industries = Average White Guy Industries ;)

I'm sorry, I'm only interested in full-time pretend opportunities.

That sounds horrible...

*Zatkin was paid 2,000 yuan (about $300) to fly, along with a couple of Russian models, to a small city in the central province of Henan where he delivered a speech for the grand opening ceremony of a jewelry store there. *

I could do that.

But when they fire you, they crush you with a tank.

I'm down with it. I'll even take night shift!

Does being arrogant help?

Dang, I'm only 3/4 white. But I am exceedingly good at BSing people, and I'm in Asia a lot already...
