Calling all slave laborers interns!

Did you somehow forget to audition for MTV's I'm From Rolling Stone reality show? Are you dying for an opportunity to publicly humiliate yourself while competing for a highly coveted 1-year throw-away position?

Well, lucky for you, you've got another chance. Unfortunately, however, the stakes aren't quite so glamorous the second time around.

See, this gig is more of a resume-builder than an actually career opportunity. Also, it's not very fun:

Rolling Stone is looking for part-time unpaid interns to start ASAP in their New York offices for a publishing assignment. You must be available a minimum of 2 days and have an impressive design and photo sensibility, as well as an interest and familiarity with Rolling Stone and its history. A majority of your responsibility will be scanning in items for our upcoming retrospective publication celebrating the history of the magazine, but you may also be called on to do editorial research. We are looking for quick learners who take direction well and have an eye for detail and organization.

So to review: This internship is unpaid, a minimum of two days a week, and you'll predominantly be doing tedious scanning work, although occasionally you'll have the privilege of fetching Jann Wenner's coffee.

Oh, and it's not going to air on MTV, and there's absolutely no chance it will ever translate into a real position at Rolling Stone.

Where do we sign up??

You can basically substitute every instance of the words "Rolling Stone" with another publication, lets say, Harpers Bazaar. Better yet, why not just use this ad for every ad for interns at every magazine. Most of them are so cheap, er desperate, they will take anyone, including people who want to write for the Economist for unpaid "internships " in thefashion closets.
