not go to an actual doctor’s office and wait in line for an appointment?

Where do people live that they have to wait in line for an appointment?

Not to mention that he probably gets 5 emails a day from family members wanting diagnoses/prescriptions for free.

yeah. fuck this shit. “hey, Dr. cousin/niece/etc, I have (fill in symptom here)…what do you think it is? can you risk your medical license to prescribe me something so I can be a lazy ass and not go to an actual doctor’s office and wait in line for an appointment?”

Not to mention that he probably gets 5 emails a day from family members wanting diagnoses/prescriptions for free.

surely a graduate of numerous levels of college level education could find out a way to handle such a delicate social situation taht could jeopardize their profession.

dr: well, next time you’re in a huge hurry, why don’t you write me a bunch of shit for free?

It reassures me I’m not just being contrary when I criticize other shit I find on the internet, that there actually are good writers, and I’m criticizing BAD writing, and not ALL writing.

I dont work if I not getting paid, homie dont play that.

larry david: hey doc, can you check out this thing on my back?
dr: no.
larry david: why not? it’ll just take a second.
dr: sir, what do you do for a living?
larry david: im a writer.
dr: well, next time you’re in a huge hurry, why don’t you write me a bunch of shit for free?

and none havehas been paid.

Interviewee: “ermmmm…are you familiar with V-shaped backs?”

well done.

I’d love to see what the reaction would be from someone at ESPN the Magazine if an applicant went to an interview and had this site or deadspin on the resume.

ESPNMag Interviewer: “mmmhhhmm…*flips page on resume*…mmmhhhmm…Ah, I see here you interned for TheBigLeadSportsUnitedStatesofAmericaToday dot com. Which 3/9 did you contribute?”
Interviewee: “ermmmm…are you familiar with V-shaped backs?”

I know that many of the editors there read this site (the editor of the magazine has mentioned the site many times on his podcast), curious what they would make of an applicant.

They would probably make more of him if he could afford clean clothes.

me and soused had a nice argument the other night about the value of unpaid internships in general and this one in particular. it ain’t for everyone, but if you can afford to work for free (live at home, have another job) and are looking for a break in media, do it

which is why it works for a college kid. or someone out of college living at home not working.

You can hop on twitter and ask the decision-makers at ESPN, SI, Yahoo, etc what they would think if they say this site or deadspin on a resume. Don’t take my word for it.

fwiw, I had 3 internships in my career: 1 in high school (unpaid), 1 in college (unpaid; saved up money during the year, intern during the summer), 1 post-college (had to move to NC, it was paid).

We have had 4 interns – i think, maybe 5 – and none have been paid.

you get free TBL with insider?

YOUR PRODUCT IS HORRIBLE AND STOP SENDING ME IT JUST BECAUSE I SIGNED UP FOR ESPN INSIDER.
