UPDATE: Wow, huge apologies for directing anyone to this site, as an alert tipster points out that much of it appears to be blatantly plagiarized from The Phat Phree's Look at My Striped Shirt!. We weren't familiar with that particular work, but you should definitely not count on the DC Summer Interns blog for anything good after all, based on this evidence.

D.C. is a city of archetypes. There's the Hill staffer, the bigshot douchebag, the crackhead, the intern, the yuppie, the tourist.

Intern season is in full swing in Washington, and one local blogger has taken notice of just how many gross older dudes are hoping to hook up with them. The concept behind m4intern is simple: posting entire Craigslist ads, with links, that are expressly designed to lure young women in D.C. interning for the summer out for dates and sex.
