Workforce Central Florida, an unemployment agency ran by local businesses in Florida (but funded by the state!), launched their latest campaign against unemployment by handing out over 6 thousand red capes! The $73,000 campaign “Cape-A-Bility Challenge” delivers a special power-charged cape and a foam cutout of comic character, Dr. Evil Unemployment, to the unemployed that cost the state almost $15 thousand in red cloth alone!
To get your cape, you must take the ‘What Superhero Are You?’ quiz on Facebook, become a fan of Workforce Central Florida on Facebook, tweet a job posting from the WCF, recommend someone on LinkedIn with the word ‘super’, and then pose with a foam cutout of the doc.
Although this may not work for people older than 6, it has to work better than the last campaign they launched: “Careereoki”, where the unemployed sung songs about the job they would like to have… WOW!
From the sounds of it, these people are in good hands. At least they could use the capes as a small blanket when they are sleeping on the streets waiting for the next audition for American Idol.
