The magazine industry is hurting. Titles are closing every day. So, in an attempt to ward its demise (the magazine was rumored to be bankrupt), someone at XXL sent out the below ad seeking a sales rep, and by sales rep, we mean "sales gangsta."
We're printed it as is, typos and all. Laugh along with us, will you?
