why darwinian evolution created copywriters (and editors)

Perhaps the popularity of The Apprentice has given headhunters and prospective employers an inflated sense of importance. Witness this craigslist post from KLK Staffing (web site pending, apparently):

Prestigious Advertising Agencies are seeking talented and proven assistants. To be considered a qualified [sic] you most [sic] possess the following minimum requirements:

College Degree, Associates or Bachelors; 3.0 GPA or Better; 6 months Advertising Agency Work Experience or Advertising Agency Internship... If you do not possess are [sic] minimum requirements, do not apply. Your resume will not be considered and will not be held on file.

Very tough. Clearly, we are dealing with professionals here. What kind of rewards can we expect if we make it through the grueling vetting process? Well, there's the good news:

These are positions that require a dynamic personality, high level of dedication, and professional polish. You will be rewarded with Bottomless Benefits and Topless Growth.

Baby, you had us at "Bottomless" - "Topless" is just gravy.
