SaveTheInternet.com's Megan Tady announces (12/2/08) an alternative Help Wanted ad to assist Barack Obama in appointing a new chair for the Federal Communications Commission. The desired qualifications:

This job requires a strong commitment to protecting the open Internet, ensuring fast and affordable Internet access for all Americans and diversifying media ownership.

Applicant must be willing to hold long and unruly public hearings and enjoy arcane telecom banter. Wardrobe malfunctions, NASCAR wreckage and fleeting expletives are discouraged.

While a "public interest background" is "strongly preferred," there is one caveat: "Industry lobbyists need not apply."
