"Sorry You Lost Your Job" Cards May Be Just The Thing To Save Our Economy
What will they think of next? Greeting cards for the unemployed! How marvelous! The outsourcing of emotion has never been easier. My only suggestion is that they make the cards much larger, like newspaper size, because pretty soon the recipients are going to need to use them as blankets.
"Kathy, thank you so much for all of your hard work on the new 'Unemployment' line. These cards look fabulous. Especially this one. 'Don't think of it as losing your job…think of it as a time out between stupid bosses.' It's so good that I think you should keep it. Along with everything else in your desk. Which, really, I think, they're all are so precious, you should probably keep them in your house instead of here at work. Here's a big cardboard box for them. You…you do see where I'm going with this, yes?"
If there ever actually is a winter this year and I were unemployed I'd hope to receive hundreds of them to burn for heat. How about "Sorry You Have No Job!" cakes?
@Alex Oliver@twitter Cakes in absence of bread would be a stroke of genius (except in Europe, of course, as I said below).
You know this shit would never work in Greece or Spain. Or UK. Or France. We are truly an exceptional nation.
If someone gave me one of those cards, I would check the price and wonder why they didn't give me the money instead.
Lol, i also think that way… if they spend money to buy this cards, why don't they give the money instead… hahaha lolx
