More than 10,000 people have jumped at the chance to become the caretaker
of a tropical Australian island - including a prankster identifying himself as
terror mastermind Osama bin Laden.
A 30-second video available on YouTube shows an actual video of the bearded
Al-Qaida leader with garble dubbed over his real voice and subtitles stating why
he is right for the job.
"I enjoy the outdoors and sandy areas," the subtitles read. "I've got
experience with videos, delegating tasks and experience with large scale event
coordination."
Tourism Queensland, which is coordinating the contest, confirmed that a
person using bin Laden's name had lodged an official application but it was
rejected as inappropriate, the Sydney Morning Herald reported on Wednesday.
Bin Laden is believed to be in hiding somewhere along the mountainous
border between Afghanistan and Pakistan and occasionally releases video and
audio messages.
Queensland launched the 'Best Job in the World' campaign on Jan 12, calling
for video applications from people interested in a $100,000 contract to relax on
Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef for six months while writing a blog to
promote the island.
The job is part of a $1.1 million campaign to publicize the charms of
northeastern Queensland state. The employee will live free on the island,
exploring the reef and posting videos and photos on a weekly blog.

自澳大利亚发布某热带小岛管理员的招聘广告以来，应征者已有1万多人，其中包括一名自称恐怖主义头目奥萨马•本-拉登的搞怪人士。
“本拉登”的应聘视频现可在YouTube网站上浏览，整个视频长达30秒钟，画面中的人物确实是留着大胡子的基地组织头目本-拉登，但他说话的声音已经过处理，画面中还配有字幕说明他为什么适合这一职位。
字幕称：“我热爱户外和沙滩，有视频制作、任务分配和协调大型活动的经验。”
据《悉尼先驱晨报》本周三报道，负责此次招聘的昆士兰州旅游局证实，确有一位盗用本-拉登名号的应聘者提交过正式申请，但因做法不当未获通过。
据称本•拉登目前藏身于阿富汗和巴基斯坦边境的山区地带，他时不时地会发布些视频或音频讯息。
昆士兰州于上月12日发起了这一号称“世界上最好工作”的招聘活动，并要求应聘者提交视频申请。该职位的薪水高达10万美元，主要职责就是在大堡礁的汉密尔顿岛放松6个月，同时撰写博客宣传该岛。
汉密尔顿岛管理员招聘是耗资110万美元的昆士兰州东北部岛屿魅力宣传活动的一部分。管理员上岗后，将在岛上自由生活，探寻岛礁奥秘，并每周更新博客，上传视频和图片。
昆士兰州旅游局已审查通过的一些最受欢迎的视频已经可以在网上浏览了。
