Wow. What else is there to say?
did they miss a few zeros to the $250 or what? ... demanding cheapskate! who the fuck do they think we are? I could make 250$ faster working for mcdonalds minus the stress and responsibilities xD
No, no, no. This has to be a put-on. Plans, specs, 4 sections, 3D outline, details, design work, "more than 3 revisions a plus" and being at their beck and call 24/7, all for the princely sum of $250.00! This is a real howler! How are they going to pick the lucky applicant? Maybe multiple out of town (for you) interviews at your expense. Good God.
They're definitely a foreign company. Or something. I don't know. But it seems weird that anybody would put up a troll ad on a site where nobody will ever see it. I think somebody should get in touch with them.
Another "great" job opportunity

I have a pretty hard time believing this is real too...
let the real trolling begin.
anyone want to suggest what my pseudonym will be?
$250 hahahahaha
I can't imagine this is real, but I have no reason to believe it's trolling, either. It's on a job site I've never heard of, and they have other similar help-wanted ads up there, including this one (https://www.odesk.com/o/jobs/job/Edit-text-for-graphic-design-studio-website_~018ded5c28eba3371d/) asking for website proofreading for $20.
