Dept. Of Fool’s Errands: Will PW Intern Learn That The Great Schlep Is The Loneliest Schlep?
When we first saw this video at right, wherein Philadelphia Weekly intern Becca Trabin whines into the camera for a few minutes about how she’s headed down to Florida as part of Sarah Silverman’s “The Great Schlep,” we had a few thoughts:
· Sooner or later, the oppressed intern population is going to rise up and kill us all.
· Work-culture differences: Philebrity interns make pilgramages to the Barbary; PW interns visit their grandparents.
· Couldn’t this girl have, you know, done herself up a little bit? I mean, they told her this was going on the Internet, right?
Anyway, this was all before we got wind that “The Great Schlep” is turning out to be kind of a dismal failure. What’s more, we really worry about these kids heading down to FLA and actually getting so twisted up by their cranky old Bubbie and Zayde that they might come back supporting McCain. Don’t think it can happen? Oy. In any case, Becca, if you are out there reading this, let us know how it goes down there, and by all means, look alive, girl! You look like you’re gonna fall asleep any minute! You want we should get you some coffee?

She looks tired because interns never sleep. While I understand why this has become a Jewish issue, I think everyone should be talking to their grandparents (and family and loved ones) about this. Though it is nice to have a Syrian grandma who won’t be freaked out by someone with an Arab-sounding name :)

Hey guys, thanks for the ad. I’m a little unsure about your framing device, nevertheless.
