Romeo Rose is an internet gift that keeps giving. He’s got a list of ridiculous demands for his perfect woman (he’ll pay you $1500 if you help him meet her), and last year he offered to babysit kids for $10 an hour when he was down and out. But now the man, the myth, the legend has somehow scrounged together over $100,000 and wants to pay 12 lucky women to kiss him on camera for a “documentary.” There’s only one catch: anyone interested has got to audition. (Also, there’s probably no movie, but that’s pure speculation on my part.) (There is a video of Rose making out with a woman on his YouTube channel, but it’s pretty NSFW)
Here’s the ad Rose posted on Austin’s Craigslist:
Star in a documentary about kissing with me $10,000 pay if hired.
I am producing a documentary about all the different styles of kissing.
I need to hire 12 women between the ages of 18-29 for this.
If hired to be in this documentary film you will be paid $10,000.
Auditions are being held this evening 11/8/2015 in South Austin off William Cannon.
I’ve included a few photos of myself because I do not want to waste your time or mine.
I’m the producer as well as main character in this film so you must be able to kiss me in a way that will look natural and organic on film.
You must pass a test audition where we film a short piece so I can know if we look good together on screen or not.
Text asap today and I can provide more information and answer any further questions as well as set up the time for auditioning.
Send a recent photo of yourself in the text.
There’s absolutely nowhere one can even start with this ad. Aside from the fact that there’s no phone number to text (those auditions must have been empty), there’s also the matter of the audition (…) as well as the fact that Rose allegedly has $120,000 to pay 12 different women to make out with him on film. And that’s before production fees!
Let’s hope no one believed this charmer’s ad, but it’s nice to see that Rose is still around trying to scam people in the most obvious ways possible. The guy’s dating website is still up, too, so if you’d rather just kiss Rose for free you should check it out to see if you meet his requirements, which include weight limits (no more than 130!) and a demand that the woman he dates be white and have long hair. He likes redheads best!
