Wanted: Humor Filter

I wonder if there is a market for the job of “Humor Filter.”  Sites like StumbleUpon work pretty well in that they allow you to make a list of your interests and then present you with content from those categories, but of course, not EVERYTHING that turns up is as relevant or as amusing as you want it to be.  What if you could actually hire a person with similar interests to trawl the funnylands of the Internet and present you with the best finds?

Before I was really into 9gag, I simply creeped on the user page of one of my friends and looked at the things that he had Liked.  He has good taste.  I enjoyed having my humor filtered through a reliable source, and told him so.  Then I realized that I, too, was already kind of a Humor Filter for my dad.  He is a real grown-up and has grown-up things to do all day—but I don’t.  I’m a college student.  I live in a training wheels version of real life.  Spending all day scavenging the Internet for scraps of entertainment is perfectly normal.  When I find something that makes me weep and drool with laughter, I send it to my dad.  And he sends back words of appreciation.

I think this could be a very profitable job.  The trick is to find a client who has 1) the same sense of humor as you, 2) not enough patience to spend their entire life clicking “Next Page,” and 3) bags o' cash.
