BET Wants You!!!

Are you mostly inoffensive, hep to the latest urban slang and at least semi-beautiful? Can you read a TelePrompTer and say things like "Here are Boyz N Da Hood with their new video for 'Felonies'" or "Here's the newest video from Slim Thug, featuring Bun B" without cracking THE FUCK up? If so, you may want to submit a PTO form to HR for next Monday because BET will be at Excalibur (if you click on the Excalibur link, turn down your speakers as their intro music is TOTALLY bangin') from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. looking for "fresh faces and talent" to host some of their shows.

We thought about auditioning, but every time we see a picture of Lil Wayne or a video featuring him our hair starts on fire and we begin to involuntarily punch ourselves in the eyes whilst vomiting blood. We can't bear to think about what might happen if we had to conduct an in-studio interview with him. We lost our fire extinguisher, and we're out of paper towels, so we had to close our eyes while we searched for and uploaded the picture at left. Did it work?

Anyway, get to the castle early because not only does the early Birdman get the worm, but BET will only audition the first 1,000 people in line.
