Wanted: Porn actress

My coworker, who is helping her friend find a new PA job, showed me this advert this morning:
SECRETARY/PA Confident, well spoken and presentable person required to assist successful entrepreneur. Female required in terms of EE targets of company. Candidate must be open-minded and completely comfortable with exposure to nudity. Comfortable working hours. Salary R5000 pm.
How dodgy is that? Everyone I've shown it to has been of the opinion that he is a porn director, and I tend to agree. What people don't agree on is whether this is a legit advert for a secretary, or a covert talent search. Discuss.

Batman Begins, now that I have finally seen it, has dislodged the first two Batman movies (the Tim Burton ones) from their spot on the top of the franchise, where they were trampling the other filth that comprises the full set. The complement of excellent actors are all great picks for their respective role, with Cillian Murphy being especially creepy as Scarecrow. Katie Holmes makes a good Lois Lane-style Rachel Dawes in a girl next door kind of way. I guess that's why she was so suited to her role in Dawson's Creek. So many great scenes, especially the hallucinogen-induced nightmares. Nightmare Batman is especially scary, but Scarecrow on a Nightmare (haha) is pretty good as well.

House of Flying Daggers is very similar to Hero, so if you liked the one make sure you catch the other. It's not as consistently beautiful as Hero, but it does have some very pretty scenes. The bamboo forest fight scenes are particularly great, and employ the same technique of colour saturation that Hero made liberal use of.

I had all but forgotten that the Arderne Gardens even existed. Candice suggested taking a walk down to them rather than hanging around in Cavendish waiting for our movie to start on Sunday. She does spend far too much time in Cav anyway, so a reluctance to waste any more time is perfectly understandable. I'm glad we did, because it was really tranquil sitting in a heavily wooded area, unable to see any buildings, right in the middle of Claremont. Even traffic noises were extremely muffled (and Sunday at 11am is never all that hectic anyway). Pleasant =)

Maybe he's a legitimate business man and the whole ad is legit. The only reason he's included the comfortable with nudity thing is because he has another employee who is a naturalist and insists on wandering arround the office naked. Due to freedom of expresion laws he can't fire the guy, also he's a good worker and asset to the company!
