    “You do not need a resume, headshot or any acting eperience for this audition…”

    Or to know how to spell.

    From the website of this creepily-named casting agency:

    “People Farm can deliver “farm fresh” cast that allows the “buyer to be the brand.””

    “Okay, you look great – very funky, very Asheville… and what’s that? You’ve done dinner theater? Fantastic. And here’s your US Cellular bill, with your name & address – that checks out. Okay, one last thing – drop your pants and take the US Cellular branding iron. Yes, it’s a legal thing we gotta do. This will sting a lit… Hey, Bob – we got another runner. … Ha! That was great! 6.5 seconds – a new record. Okay drag him over here. Stop wriggling you sissy, or it’ll smear and we’ll have to do it again on the other cheek. Alright, this one’s ready for wardrobe…”
