When the viewer responded to the classified ad correction on pg 2 of The Gotham Times at the address humanresources@whysoserious.com, they were emailed the following:

See you found my little message. So, do you think you have what it takes to be a part of my circle of friends? Are you a backstabbing, self-promoting, ambitious clown who will do anything to prove yourself to me? If so, the first step of your application process awaits...if you know where to look.

The solution to the circled phrases puzzle was discovered, leading to Whysoserious.com/Personalityprofile.

Clues

As before, there are a number of circled words, dots, and notes taped to the newspaper. Any new connections are being solved right now.

The "I Hate Bees" note is likely an inside joke with 42 Entertainment, since one of their prominent past projects was the "I Love Bees" campaign for the game Halo 2.

The circled words "puzzle" spread throughout the pages can be solved by counting the word's place within its paragraph. For example, 'initial' is the 13th word in the paragraph, so the associated letter would be 'M,' and so on. The result seems to be the following message from the Joker mocking the efforts of those trying to solve this puzzle.
