Asking for too much

From a popular, high-traffic job board:
(Anywhere) We are a fast-growing, fully funded brand-focused videoblog network, looking to expand and hire an art director part time as we continue to grow. Designer should be proficient at hand-coding clean, well documented CSS, logo design, and if possible motion-graphics; interest in usability design; knowledge of PHP and Javascript/Flash is a plus. Examples of the current offering can be found at www.somecompany.com. Pay is commensurate with experience.
Is it me, or is this company really looking for three people? I can count the number of people I know who can do "motion-graphics", "logo design", and also write good code in multiple languages on one hand.
In all likelihood they'll end up with someone who convinces them that they can do it all and ends up doing none of it very well.
