Most cryptic help-wanted ad ever

In the NYT's Job Market on Sunday found this help wanted ad for an "Energetic, imaginative magazine":

EDITORIAL. NO NIHILISTS NEED APPLY

I sent my resume and clips, but all I got back was a link to this site, which helpfully has answers to the question:
"How can you do anything if you don't believe in anything. How can you get out of bed. It seems like a depressing and debilitating cosmology."

A. I think that some people may find a godless, chaotic universe a hellish place in which to live. But there are others who would find an orderly, god ruled universe equally hellish. Not all people have the same needs. Nihilism suits mine.
Really quite reasonable for a nihilist, huh?
