Workforce Central Florida spent more than $14,000 on the red capes as part of its "Cape-A-Bility Challenge" public relations campaign. The campaign featured a cartoon character, "Dr. Evil Unemployment," who needs to be vanquished.

People are surprisingly upset about this on the comments. :nuts:

Guess they'll have to sit at home and yell at their computer screens some more instead of actually trying to change something.

We're looking for superheroes to join us in the fight against Dr. Evil Unemployment

Seriously, doesn't it sounds ridiculous?

I think the 'Evil' part is almost redundant. Also, I don't think it rolls off your tongue very well.

Maybe if the "superheroes" were Doctors too, they wouldn't be unemployed.

I don't think this is right. I mean, what ever happened to equality? I want my damn cape! D:

Who knew I'd end up having my own cartoon character

"I'm jobless, give me a bright red cape so I can walk around demanding a job because I can't get a job on my own. I need the help of a red cape <3"
