Florida labor officials dress up state’s unemployed in superhero capes and laugh at them like they’re someone’s retarded brother…[HT: Jan]

www.orlandosentinel.com -- State labor officials asked their inspector general Monday to investigate why a Central Florida agency wants to spend public money to furnish the unemployed with capes. Dubbed the "Cape-A-Bility Challenge," a $73,000 public-relations campaign by Workforce Central Florida features a cartoon character named "Dr. Evil Unemployment" and includes handing out about 6,000 red superhero capes to jobless Central Floridians.
