Hey @GasBandit, you seem pretty knowledgeable in the field of "oh god the radio industry can suck my left nut"-related topics. Is this internship as horrible as it sounds?

That's horrendously shitty even by radio standards. In fact, I'm kinda thinking that'd be illegal. You can't give unpaid interns actual work to do without paying them. At least not in Texas.

Than what in the hell are they for? I mean, that internship seems a bit excessive, but I've seen plenty of unpaid internships around here for 3-6 months of pretty much full time employment doing normal work they'd otherwise have to hire someone for.

summary said:
For-profit companies are only permitted to use unpaid internships if they meet six specific criteria outlined by the Department of Labor (DOL). The most important thing to remember is the unpaid internship must be for benefit of intern. If recent lawsuits in the entertainment, media, and fashion industries are any indication, there are plenty of American companies who still use unpaid interns largely for their own benefit.

And that’s illegal.

Best scene from the best Archer episode. "Simmer down, Hannity."
And it's subtle, too, because previously they address him as "Mikey Hannity," and it IS an Irish name, so ostensibly it could be an unintentional coincidence... but you know it isn't.

I have an extra ticket to tomorrow night's opening of the 3D Civil War. And I can't find anyone to go with me. Not sure what that means.

@Bubble181 It's a jab at Sean Hannity, who is usually addressed only by his last name (especially by his detractors), a Fox News opinion host and AM radio conservative talk show host (he has the second most radio listeners after Rush). Immediately after "Mike Hannity" says something racist (Beaners), Archer says "Simmer down, Hannity" which could just be the character's name, but also comes off as referencing the talk show host. Like, as if he'd said "Cool it, Limbaugh" or "That's enough, Glenn Beck."

Hey, you just ignored the first guy who replied on Facebook. And your daughter. No-one to blame but yourself!

The first guy said I had to buy him a plane ticket (wonder who that was) and my daughter gets her wisdom teeth out tomorrow so she can't go. Which is why she said, "Noooooooo!"

The only time music getting stuck in my head is rough is when the student senate has it going during lunch for events, because I've apparently hit the "this new music sucks but mine's okay" phase of aging and the shit they play is just the worst.
