First of all, I would like to offer a friendly reminder that the Videogum Video Pizza Party is one week from tonight! It should be a very fun time. Two Boots Pizza–one of New York’s finest makers of pizza named after Jon Waters movies–has graciously offered to supply the pizza. Borat says, “Very Niiiiice!” Seriously, though, thanks, Two Boots Pizza! If you are in the New York area and you are 21 years of age or older (sorry, babies), you should come to this thing! You can find out all of the important details here, which is also a great place to Officially RSVP. Let ‘em know!
In other news: we are looking for an intern to help with Videogum next semester. Neat! This is an unpaid position for college credit. The Videogum intern will be responsible for, you know, intern stuff: helping out with photo galleries and video projects, deleting those stupid coolforsale spam comments, and just generally learning how the sausage is blogged. I would tell you that this is an exciting opportunity to work in a fast-paced, creative environment, which it is, but that sounds like something a Suit on Entourage would say. SUITS NEED NOT APPLY!
Because we all work remotely, you don’t have to live in New York to apply, but if you do live in New York, you should still apply! I mean, if you want to. We only want interns who want to work for us, btw. Like, if you really don’t want to work for us, that does not hurt our feelings. Just work for someone else. Work for this guy. Anyone who IS interested should copy and paste (no attachments) a resume and a writing sample into an email and send that email to intern@videogum.com. Great. Thank you.

Wow, I bet that got flooded.
Hope everyone has a lot of sex… I mean, FUN tonight! And Remember: For every 4 windows of opportunity, Gabe should be pantsed at least 3 times!
It’s not ’til next week.
Oh shit… Lets Go!!!
in all honesty, it would sort of be the most amazing thing ever if gabe put on a meetup for the website he blogs at and one of you monsters showed up and pulled his pants down.
So basically an intern would do what I do except for college credit and less gifs??
And less suits, apparently.
I don’t understand, it sounds like your saying you get paid in GIFs, like Videogum pays you in GIFs, but this intern will only get some GIFs because hes mostly being paid in college credit. Is this what your saying Mr. Wertrew, Twitter and Videogum Enthusiast Extraordinaire?
That was kinda inarticulate, wasn’t it…perhaps better: “So basically an intern would do what I do except with less gifs and for college credit??”

If there is fist pumping (there will totes be fist pumping), I can?t promise I won?t end up in the hot tub in my thong underwear with my back fat hanging out. I know it?s not as classy as a thong bikini or nothing at all, but at least now you guys know the situation.
Wow, Professor Reference Over Here!
Lizzing.
I can?t help it! Have to combine my love for videogum and my favoritest tv show evar! MLIJS
We don’t need to live in NY? I’m sorry, if I’m going to be a videogum intern its gonna be at the videogum HQ. In Time Square. At the top o’ the Empire State Building. Right?
Everybody knows Videogum HQ is in the Statue of Liberty’s left breast, aka AMERICA’S HEART.
No it isn’t. If it was, this site would be a shining memorial to the likes of Jay Leno.
I see your Jay Leno and raise you a Jeff Dunham
I haven’t updated my resume in 13 forevers. So… how about you just give me the gig and we’ll call it a day?
Also, I’m not in college. I take internet credits, though.
But seriously, this is suspicious timing…. on the heels of the Gawker TV call for internzzzz.
I think it’s just Intern Season in Blogland. Think Progress is also asking for spring interns.
will someone please tell me what’s going on?
This sounds perfect, as I am one credit short of a college degree.
I will copy and paste a resume as per your request as soon as I find a good one online. As for a writing sample, well obviously you’re reading it.
I’m not in college, but I will intern for creepiness cred.
Cut it out.
Somebody broke the “hurry-up” machine.
“Because we all work remotely….”
That’s code for Gabe walks around in his underwear all day.
With the job rejections flowing like a horrific tidal wave of rejection towards me day after day, I thought I’d try my chances by applying here. But ALAS, I gots the mail delivery fail.
You’ve made this my official day of rejection.
This is so exciting! Especially since I live in LA and have to miss out on all the fun anyway! You know, everyone told me I wouldn’t accomplish anything by sitting in bed in the dark all day. Well, in their collective, well-paid, rosy cheeked faces because I’m going to celebrate applying for this with some (most likely) rancid stickmeat and a hearty round of fist pumping.
Who wants to buy me a Bolt Bus ticket from Philly and my drinks all night and a place to sleep? Also, I have IBS and require a de-humidifier. Somuchfungum!
I was going to apply, but then I realised you don’t want to hire a teenaged girl from Scotland, five hours in the future from you.
Also, you would have to work on those pesky British spellings!
I’d do it! But not having a previous job leaves my resume to just say “Alex goes to college
“
Wow I want to so much! but I am the worst commenter ever, like I think you wouldn’t hire me based on my poor comment ratings.
Oh man, this is pretty much a dream come true for me, and now that the opportunity has come to be a Videogum intern, I am basically pissing myself with fear. So, no, you won’t be hearing from me… It’s for the best though. I couldn’t be the guy that goes through spammer comments. I would definitely be shooting off my face Black Dahlia .gif style!
Wait. Doesn’t werttrew just automatically get it? Confused.
Well I know a certain someone who’s gonna go to the Too Boots in Echo Park next week. For solidarity. Solidarity and pizza.
damnit!
what if you can’t get college credit for it, but you still want to do it? does the writing sample have to be videogum-style stuff, like a funny review of something? i need answers!
I would say “I’m the new intern” automatically, due to the credentials illustrated by my Avatar(TM), but I live in Australialand. And I like to walk around NOT wearing underwear all day, so I wouldn’t be much good at working remotely.
I love how we all feel the need to treat this as a Facebook Event wall and list all the cool reasons we have for not being able to attend, namely having a life or being somewhere awesome.
“Awww, Gabe! I wouldn’t have missed it for the world except I actually am missing it for an around-the-world tour ? I’ll be in the Greek Islands that day with a bunch of friends, partying it up so hard. But maybe when I get back from Tokyo the week after we can catch up for coffee or an iChat or not at all! XOXoxoxoxoxoxo”
Uhh this is obviously my dream internship, i’m so prepared with no resume, nothing written, needing a shower. What is a writing sample anyway? Can I just send cool IM conversations from 2005 that I saved on my computer because that’s something I did once? “THIS IS FUNNY, I’LL WANT IT LATER HAHA” but i never want it later?
I’m pretty sure this is just an elaborate way to bring Lindsay back to Videogum. If that’s the case, BUZZ MEDIA PAY NO ATTENTION TO THIS COMMENT.
Anyone wanna take a guess on how many of the currently 110 confirmed guests are actually going to show up?
I’m gonna go with 35.
My grad program gives credit only to museum internships. Can you be a museum, Gabe? If not, QUIT PLAYING GAMES WITH MY HEART!
But lots and lots of love to the lucky who(m)ever that gets this sweet gig. EXCELSIOR, JOURNALISM UNDERGRADS!
I think videogum has released enough inches on both topics to become the official “Twilight/Jersey Shore Museum of Brooklyn” curated by Professor Gabriel Delahaye, Esq.
If I was still in college majoring in something where blog running experience was helpful (which one is that again?) and actually thought you’d want to read part of my senior thesis on the economics of emissions trading, I’d be all over this. Your loss!!
DON’T DO IT KIDDIES!! Working for free is bullshit! Respect yourselves.
YOU DIED. YOU CANT TELL ME WHAT TO DO ANYMORE, BOB ROSS.
I’m painting a giant happy tree over your posting. Bob Ross lives!!!!! **until 2012

Does Videogum’s email client support HTML? I want to put a fancy hyperlink in my writing sample, but I don’t want it to look like gobbledygook if it doesn’t work
(There are still a lot of email programs that aren’t HTML compatible, so its not a stupid question!)
LOL!!!!
How prescient Gabe.
To the yet unnamed future Videogum intern: this is your first assignment.
WAIT WAIT, this is some kind of test, isn’t it? Like in The Last Crusade? Okay, so I just highlight it and press the delete button, right? …

FUCK AM I NOT QUALIFIED?
