Editor of Gawker.com, a very popular media blog, seeking a new opportunity. I'm an experienced writer/editor with both Internet and mainstream media experience. Please email me for more info.

Thank you.

So we asked Jesse Oxfeld: Is this yours? "ha. no. not at all. of course not." So it's a hoax? Of course. The real Jesse Oxfeld would only post a for-hire ad on Mediabistro.

    This item is something Gawker employees and their friends could find interesting, but I'm surprised you bothered to post it and Dlisted bothered to link to it.

    Basically, I am at a loss why I should care about this… Have I missed something? Please inform.
