Fancy this job?

A recruitment advert very similar to this one appeared in today’s Evening Post…

An ad very like this one appeared in today's Evening Post

Did you know that Imperial Tobacco earns £11 billion a year for pushing it’s horrible products to 130 countries, and is the fourth largest cancer stick pusher in the world? I didn’t.

Now they are looking for a Corporate Apologist to help tell world how they are: “committed to behaving responsibly and growing sustainably” and to show how they: “pursue the highest standards in everything we do”.

Responsible? Highest standards? Sustainable.

It would be laughable if the reality wasn’t so tragic.

Shame on Imperial Tobacco’s Human Resources Department for okaying this evident trash.
