Offbeat, World: Reason to hate Ben Southall: He just won a dream job

  • I just can’t wait to start. There’s a lot of different things to do over the next six months. I hope I can sell the reef as much as everybody is expecting.
  • British dude Ben Southall • The winner of the Australian Great Barrier Reef dream job contest. Southall has a long history of being adventurous – including ostrich-riding and scuba-diving – as well as prior experience with being a tour guide in Africa. Which means, simply, that he’s overqualified and will not do the job properly. If he’s not slacking off, he’s doing it wrong. • source
