Make $6,800 by watching every Simpsons episode

if i were not in school right now, i totally wouldve taken this. someone from the NHC needs to steal this position at least, its too good to pass up!
 
Sounds like an obvious scam to me *insert pic of cynical Superintendent Chalmers*

But seriously, good luck to anyone who attempts to take a swing at that herculean task. I can imagine it getting pretty hard when going into the modern HD seasons, but I am sure some might pull it off in the end.

I tossed my hat in the ring as a lark. My profession is analysis and I've been contributing to online discourse for the show for close to three decades. As I'm already thoroughly familiar with the franchise, I'd have no problem with keying in on whatever predictive criteria they're looking to glean from each and every piece of content the Simpsons has churned out - from the series to the movie to the comics to the various games, shorts and supporting material they've released - and parse it out to them in a clean and digestible way.

Would also be a fun excuse to revisit the series as a whole for a rewatch and get paid while doing so.
 
It's hard to predict a fucked up nightmare world beyond parody.

The show on the other hand, I feel like a fortune teller myself half the time. Wish I didn't, it's depressing.
 
The problem with something like this is, there's going to be a lot of confirmation bias. Case in point: how 9/11 is "predicted" in "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson." Nostradames's "prophecies" have a similar problem; there was one that "predicted" the Apollo 13 mishap until it was "corrected" to being about the Challenger explosion.
 
This could be pretty easy if you had the skill of bullshitting essays back in the day, or just good at making up any bs on the fly.
 
What the actual fuck? Yeah, right... can't imagine anyone desperate enough for this.
 
Whatever happened with this? Did anyone win?

Edit: It looks like the application page on the casino website is still up, but it says that the application is closed. There were a million news articles about the whole thing, but nothing appears to have come out of it, or has been revealed yet. I have to wonder how this became big news, anyway. I see why, obviously, but did someone randomly come across the position on British Indeed.com or something?
