Charlie Sheen seeks Social Media intern; will it prevent another 'Sheen's Korner' SNAFU

Charlie Sheen Tweeted on March 7 that he's looking for a social media intern to hopefully prevent "non-winning" stunts like the live video stream on Saturday night. His Tweet said:
I'm looking to hire a #winning INTERN with #TigerBlood. Apply here – http://bit.ly/hykQQF #TigerBloodIntern #internship #ad
To be precise, it's not free advertising for Internships.com, where the link leads. The Tweet is a paid-for endorsement of Internships.com, which was hooked up with Sheen by ad.ly, which Sheen signed with last week, after using them to set up his Twitter account. Internships.com said that TeamSheen is specifically looking for a Social Media intern.

Here's what the ad says:
Deadline: March 11th, 2011

Position: Full-Time, Paid

Timeframe: Summer 2011 (8 weeks)

Description: Do you have #TigerBlood? Are you all about #Winning? Can you #PlanBetter than anyone else? If so, we want you on #TeamSheen as our social media #TigerBloodIntern!

This unique internship opportunity will allow a hard-working, self-motivated, creative, resourceful and social media savvy individual to work closely with Charlie Sheen in leveraging his social network. The internship will focus on executing a social media strategy that will build on the success Charlie Sheen has attained in setting the Guinness World Record for the fastest time to reach one million followers on Twitter. The #TigerBloodIntern is expected to be proactive, monitor the day-to-day activities on the major social media platforms, prepare for exciting online projects and increase Charlie’s base of followers.

You will learn how to promote and develop the social media network of Hollywood’s most trending celebrity.
Those interested in the position need to submit, in 75 characters or less (not words) why they should be Sheen's intern. There's no way to submit a picture so the best those who think their physical attributes will help them with Sheen (ahem) will need to link to an image.

First round applications are being accepted from now through Friday, March 11, 2011 at midnight. Those who pass that screening will have the following two weeks to upload their resume to Internships.com for second round consideration.
