Do you want to join her majesty's secret service?
Put down your controller, sign here, and get ready to pick up a PPK. The British Government is using ads across the Xbox Live network to recruit for the country's secret service, reports The Guardian.
The agency responsible for placing the ad said that many of the skills required of potential secret agents -- like quick thinking, problem solving, and teamwork -- are commonly found in online gamers. The ads will run on the console's dashboard, and in the background of certain games.
Given that every time we venture into public Xbox Live games we're met with nothing but foul-mouthed thirteen-year-olds, we can't help but think that Judi Dench is in for a bit of a shock.
