Internships = Chicken Pot Pies

So we spied this craigslist posting the other day under "writing gigs":

American Apparel Seeks Intern

We need an intern here NOW. An intern who has a car and is willing to run little errands such as picking up frozen Chicken Pot Pies for our CEO at Trader Joe's. An intern who likes to read and write. An intern who is resourceful, obedient, and emotionally-resilient. We will teach this intern all kinds of things useful for advertising, communications and journalism (sort of). This experience will be so worthwhile that the intern will be happy to work for nothing but gas money, free clothes, and maybe a free lunch here and there. At the end of this internship well-performing intern may get hired for real.

Yeah yeah yeah. Been there, done that. We already knew that interning means sustaining emotional abuse and working for free. Who hasn't worked for free in this town? But if this ad is legit, who knew that Dov Charney loves TJ's chicken pot pies??
