The obnoxious Sean Avery of the New York Rangers (that’s hockey – like baseball, but with a puck, a stick, skates and ice) made a splash when we learned earlier this month that he was an intern at Vogue Magazine.

For example, Sean is getting minimum wage for his work at the magazine, while real interns don’t get paid a dime.
Why did Vogue pay Avery a minimum wage and not its other interns?
