CP+B Auctions Off Summer Interns.

We didn’t realize pimpin’* was legal in Colorado. But what we’ve found is if you dress your blatant whoring up like a fun, frothy “intern auction” and do it on eBay, local authorities will happily turn a blind eye.

The lucky bidder who wins Crispin Porter + Bogusky’s auction are advised that their wares are “Pickup only.” On the cheery up, all funds raised will actually go into paying said interns.

No full-frontal images are available; just ponderous shots of young lithe figures toiling over desks, contemplating whiteboards and self-consciously jamming under oversized headphones.

Recently, French agency Pourquoi tu cours also tried its hand at service-trafficking — er, creative agency promotion — via eBay.

*It ain’t easy.
