This weekend, SNL brought back one of my all time favorite recurring Weekend Update segments – “Really?!” with Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler. The deserving target of this week’s tirade was finance behemoth Goldman Sachs, who got H1N1 (that would be the Swine Flu) vaccines for all their employees, even though there’s a nationwide shortage. In case you were wondering, this means that bankers are more deserving of, well, everything, than we regular folks are.

Man, interns always have to do the dirty work. They’re the ones who have to stand in crazy long Starbucks lines and then carry 20 coffees back to the office and clean up after parties they’re not invited to – and they don’t even get paid. And now NYC alt-weekly The Village Voice has an intern who has to go even more above and beyond the call of duty – while everyone in the media is freaking out about the swine flu, the Voice’s intern went down and caught it.
Good work, dutiful intern! I hope your perseverance pays off with a plum “How I Survived!” cover story, or at the very least a first-person expose.
