I bet the 200,000 goes to buying Huireng Shenbao and Wuji Baifengwan [Chinese medicine that are supposed to strengthen one’s sexuality]…Be careful making it your career!

God has opened a door for me…

This job is even more coveted than civil servant positions. Haha. Managers of the major adult forums are the best candidates for the job.

乔小囧：

Resume already sent. What a job needs is passion. I’ve been identifying porn during my free time for about 10 years now.

王小浪漫:

If the benefits included 10 kidneys and a giant 300-pack of tissues every day, then this would probably be a really nice job.

Could the recruitment e-mail address already be overwhelmed?

What happened to the former chief officer?

干露露:

I think women would be suited for this job! I mean, could men survive it?

弗老师：

I have never seen any of those unhealthy publications and videos, so I can only miss this opportunity. What a pity.

当官不为财请我都不来：

If one is exhausted to death while in the process of identifying pornography, is it an occupational injury or accident?
