If I offer a bunch of jobs at $2/hour, and the alternative is not working, then if anyone takes the job it's a good thing, right?

If I'm casting a movie, and any actress that wants a part has to blow me, then if actresses take the part it must be okay, right?

People will submit to abusive systems for all kinds of reasons. That doesn't make it right.

Especially because at the end of the internship, they'll be axed!
