Australian state Queensland's YouTube-based search for an island caretaker has yielded a video application from a man claiming to be Osama bin Laden.

Tourism Queensland is accepting applications via the video sharing Web site for the six-month position of Hamilton Island caretaker, which pays nearly $100,000, the Sydney Morning Herald reported Thursday.

The bin Laden application features video of the al-Qaida mastermind with subtitles citing the terrorist leader's familiarity with "sandy areas" and experience in "large scale event coordination" as reasons that he would be perfect for the job.

"I've got experience with videos and delegating tasks," the subtitles read. "My interests include arts and craft and renovating. I'm outgoing and fun-loving."

Tourism Queensland confirmed that someone using bin Laden's name filed an official application for the job.

"While we encourage people to be creative in their applications, they have to meet the selection criteria, including appropriate content, if they want to be considered for the job," a spokeswoman said. "The 'Osama bin Laden' application was submitted via the http://www.islandreefjob.com Web site but it was rejected because the content was not deemed to be appropriate."
