At a dinner party last Friday, an occasional writer who had once studied game theory, told me he'd landed a job as a conflict manager on a reality television show. The position required him to devise scenarios which would force contestants to clash. Here, from Craigslist, is an even more intriguing position: the employer is a woman who suspects her boyfriend may be cheating. "So, here is what I need. I need a girl/woman (should look 21-34), to act as Bait. He works as a bartender so this should be easy - all you have to do is go to the bar and work your magic... Sad to say but you should probably be a good liar yourself or a good actress." Any other weird jobs out there? Write in to tips@gawker.com.
