Team Sheen seeks winning intern

Actor Charlie Sheen is advertising for an eight-week internship on his social media team. Interested applicants must have tigerblood.

ACTOR CHARLIE SHEEN is enjoying his Twitter success so much he needs help with his social media network.

Sheen posted a link to the internship application form earlier today, tweeting: “I’m looking to hire a #winning INTERN with #TigerBlood. Apply here –http://bit.ly/hykQQF #TigerBloodIntern #internship #ad”

The ad description for the “unique” internship reads:

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!

Sheen broke records for generating one million followers in the shortest time. The actor now has over two million followers, despite only joining Twitter a week ago.

The AP reports that the internship is a paid-for endorsement from Internships.com and arranged through ad.ly. Although the companies would not discuss their financial arrangements, such endorsements can earn celebrities anything from $1,000 to $50,000 per tweet.

Sheen’s verified Twitter account was reportedly fast-tracked with the assistance of ad.ly.
