Florida Dog Regrets Circus Internship
Like many looking for a paw in the door of the entertainment industry, Freddie applied for an internship that promised “regular performance experience.”
“He had no idea what he was signing up for,” says Chelsea Comack, a labor attorney who specializes in internship fraud. “The listing was purposefully vague, citing an unpaid fellowship with a theatrical production company.”
In reality, Freddie had unwittingly agreed to be shot out of a cannon three nights a week at the St. Augustine, FL Big Top Circus.
“We see these shady internship practices all the time,” Comack tells The Fluffington Post. “Freddie didn’t read the fine print when he signed up – and there was a lot of it. So he may not be able to take legal action here. But we’re looking into it.”
The Big Top Circus did not respond to our request for comment.

Area Cat Completely Overwhelmed by Yard Work
According to the Pinebluff Homeowner’s Association, neighborhood cat Tinkers is in violation of about twelve subdivision rules relating to property maintenance.
“Failure to remove leaves from yard, failure to trim hedges, failure to bring trash barrels back in from curb after collection day… the list goes on and on,” said PHA president Richard Farina. “He’s letting the work pile up – literally!”
Farina said that if Tinkers doesn’t address the situation this week, he could face multiple fines.
For his part, neighbors say the cat is just completely overwhelmed by the amount of work.
“He let is get out of hand, uh, paw, hand? Whatever. He’s not even sure how to proceed,” said Cynthia Lanni, who lives next door. “I keep telling him to hire this lawn care company I use, but he’s completely freaked out by the leaf blowers they use. So I’m not sure what he’ll do.”
Tinkers could not be reached for comment.
