Guru loves his job. He gets to wax lyrical about the state of the nation (and other people’s nations to boot) on a weekly basis, allowing him to impose his opinion on others on quite a scale. Any self-respecting despot would kill for this kind of exposure.
Can it can get any better? Well, yes it can. Check out this ad, faithfully reproduced:
Compliance Viewer
Free-to-air Compliance Viewer required, short-term contract
Playboy TV is looking for a person experienced in viewing programmes for television broadcast for compliance with Ofcom regulations, ideally with an understanding of the rules applied to late-night erotica. The ideal candidate will be available immediately to work for about one month, although this may be extended. Applicants will need to be comfortable watching material aimed at an adult audience. Please send your CV, availability and current salary details (or expectations) to Richard Ings, Head of Programming, Playboy TV. Please do not submit CVs if you do not have relevant experience.
Sadly, Guru is just too busy (and his eyesight is bad enough already) to take up this post. However, those of you looking for a move out of HR will need the necessary knowledge about Ofcom rules.

Fortunately, the work has been done for you. Go to the website (www.ofcom.org.uk) and check out the Broadcasting Code, section one, subsection 20.
Unfortunately, it’s difficult to gauge how many people would apply for this job, otherwise Guru would have compiled a few stats and created some porno graphics for you.
