Officials Say "Capes For the Unemployed" Plan Not Super

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday April 20, 2011 @04:17AM from the best-and-worst-laid-plans dept.

After what must have been an epic marketing meeting, a Florida unemployment agency decided to give 6,000 red capes to the jobless as part of its "Cape-A-Bility Challenge" public relations campaign. The capes cost $14,000 (not a bad price for 6k capes actually) and featured a cartoon character named "Dr. Evil Unemployment." As one might imagine, officials are calling for an investigation to be launched. It's a good thing there are an abundance of caped do-gooders without jobs in the area who should be able to help.

Only in Florida. I can say that cause I live in the crazy-ass state.

This is not as bad as Workforce Central Florida's previous idea: Careereoki.
I wish desperately I could say I was making this up, but I am not.
