Team Sheen Needs an Intern…not really

As soon as I saw this internship inquiry to intern for Charlie Sheen yesterday, several thoughts came to mind:

1) This isn’t real.

2) Maybe this is real!

3) What parent would let their son or daughter intern for Charlie Sheen?

4) “Tell Charlie Why You’re #Winning” Too much lawls.

Sorry to get your hopes up, but it was all a publicity stunt! Are we surprised? Supposedly, Internships.com was looking to increase their visitors and that is exactly what happened. Charlie Sheen was even paid up to five figures for simply tweeting the following statement: “I’m looking to hire a #winning INTERN with #TigerBlood. Apply here – http://bit.ly/hykQQF #TigerBloodIntern #internship #ad.”

I can’t imagine being paid to tweet a sentence. What a job to have right? What are we all still doing in school? Oh, that’s right – we’re not all #winning like Charlie Sheen yet.

In case you were wondering, Charlie Sheen now has 2.2 million followers on Twitter. He launched his Twitter account on March 1st.
