INT. - COMPUTER SCREEN

A FF OF THE GUSH HOME-PAGE. WE TOUR IT ALONG WITH THE

INTERNS.

JUSTIN (V.O.)

Gush.com is the largest content

aggregator on the web. We have 24

content areas with 82 separatesubsections covering everythingfrom politics to entertainment toNew York to Latino voices to our

latest, “mindful living,” which Idon’t know what the hell that is.

It’s a beast, and feeding thatbeast takes a lot of material, and

that takes a lot of coffee runs and

a lot of browsing...

JUSTIN (O.C.)

And both of those are where youcome in. A lot of what we'll be

asking you to do is search the webfor stuff we can repurpose.
