RubberBuzz || Akron Unleashed: $100,000 a Year

$100,000 a Year

I could do a lot with a 100 grand a year. But what job could I get in Akron that pays $100k? Blogging about Bo, Luke, Daisy and the General Lee.

Country Music Television has selected its first "vice president" for the Dukes of Hazzard Institute. The first task for the New York-based executive: Upgrade the Institute's new facilities.

In other words, get cable and a new TV set for his apartment.

Yes, Christopher Nelson's new job, which comes with a $100,000 salary and a one-year contract, will be to watch reruns of "The Dukes of Hazzard" weeknights on the Country Music Television cable channel and write blog postings for the network's Web site.

The contract does not include vacation time.

It sounds like CMT wants to be the next TWoP. I just hope Nelson can do the show justice unlike Jessica Simpson. Oh, you haven't heard? Jessica is playing Daisy Duke in the new Dukes of Hazzard movie. Bo and Luke Duke will be played by Seann William Scott from American Pie and Johnny Knoxville of Jackass fame. But here's the best parts, Boss Hogg will be played by Burt Reynolds and Willie Nelson is playing Uncle Jesse. That kicks ass.
