The One With the Bad Pitch

Like most of you, I've watched pretty much every episode of Friends and now I watch reruns. Last night the episode The One With the Mugging came on, where Chandler starts his new unpaid internship in advertising. I understand this scene is meant to show Chandler as the "hero," but the light it portrays the youth in advertising in is not flattering. We are smarter than that. I know we have a lot to learn, but those of us winning advertising internships know that more than sex (while effective) sells.
