Yeah this is true.
I'd like to use this space to say don't become an intern at some sleaze bag's company. Make sure they pay you more than they do at Taco Bell.

This seems strange...the most recent ad basically says "if you need an industry level professional for cheap we've got it." If you are an industry level professional why are you at HyperIsland doing internships? The ads are slick, but by definition they offer a product that doesn't exist. It will be difficult for them to bridge the expectation gap created by the ads.
It puts a spin on jobs for interns replacing stacks of resume/cs with videos/apps.
Those are not interns at HyperIsland. Those are students. It is described in the press release.

There is no gap, HyperIsland well specifically the students of HyperIsland are touting that they are good enough such that agencies should come to them instead of the other way around and it is as easy as getting an app.
I was not able to see any hidden meaning of cheap / low value in there.

Why else would you hire an intern?
I like the background track but it is much too distracting to hear what the ad is saying. Is it just me?
In any case, if executed well I personally think this is a great idea. Student interns are pretty much cheap contractors because they generally lack experience and seek experience. For simple tasks companies can benefit from filtering through a database and watching a few videos to look for a great personality to work with.
When I was an intern I learned a lot and they got cheap labor out of it. Win-win IMHO.

Wait, is the intent of the video to draw a comparison between the over-saturation of unpolished iPhone apps with an endless supply of interns?
Fantastic execution and something to do about interns? Has to be HyperIsland.
Hmmm... They only have iNterns in stock in the white style. I'm gonna hold out until the fall release.
I see what you did there.
Very nice idea. The site is well done. I like
Just a reminder.
