I got a spec email today and I'm wondering if suffering such emails fitted the ahem, interesting brief. This is a real company by the way.
"I am from a UK based company called PhotoPitch that links photographers worldwide with companies and individuals for job opportunities. I found you on the Internet and I am contacting you because we have a job opportunity that might interest you.
Our client need 3 photos for an ad campaign about their creams used for anal fissures. The campaign will initially be placed in public toilets. The various photos need to relate annoying “pain in the arse” situations happening to some people every day. They want the photos to show different stereotypes in a funny way. For example, it could be a photo of a couple having a disagreement (bickering) whilst driving (view from the windscreen)". The idea here is that relationships with your loved one can be a “pain in the arse”. For more details about the brief, register on our website (free of charge).

If this brief doesn't suit you, we have many other projects on our website, varying from weddings to landscape, so feel free to have a look here!"
I was 'sorely' tempted to send them a photo of myself angrily deleting emails.
A 'cracking' opportunity if anyone wants it.
