Something for the weekend: Global gaming news website VegasSlotsOnline.com has begun its search for a super fan of the TV show Black Mirror to binge watch all episodes and predict the likelihood of storylines happening in real life. If you are even remotely a fan of creepy, dystopian content, then this is the opportunity for you.
To celebrate the release of the sixth season of the hit television series created by Charlie Brooker on streaming service Netflix, the website will pay the lucky applicant £1,000 to binge-watch all 27 episodes of the unsettling tech-based horror show and help create the Black Mirror Inevitability Index in collaboration with its odds analysts. The index will rate each episode from 1 to 100, with 100 denoting an episode theme that has already happened in real life or is almost certain to happen in the future.
To be eligible, applicants must be 21 years of age or above and hold an active Netflix account. Interested super streamers need to explain in fewer than 300 words why they want the role as part of their application.
Andy Parker, spokesperson for VegasSlotsOnline.com, said: “Black Mirror is a dystopian phenomenon, pushing its stories to the very limit of ‘what if…?’ and making people really think about the reality, and fragility, of the human condition. Every episode has sparked a discussion about what someone might do if they were in those situations, so we wanted to take that idea seriously. Just how likely is it, based on current political, social, and technological events, that these storylines could one day play out in real life?
“Every day, we deal with odds and predictions while reviewing games to help our users choose the best and safest places to play online, so why not use that approach in real-life scenarios? If you love Black Mirror, this is definitely not an opportunity to miss out on.”
This sounds like a great opportunity for those who frequently finding themselves saying: “Just one more episode”. Grab the popcorn, you may be here for some time!
