Job center blasted for giving capes to unemployed - Yahoo! News: "ORLANDO, Fla. – Florida officials are investigating an unemployment agency that spent public money to give 6,000 superhero capes to the jobless. 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."

I'm in Orlando. I'll let you know if I actually see anyone wearing their cape.
Perhaps a better idea would have been to have local business advertise on the capes and pay the unemployed to wear them.
Up, up, and...oh wait, nevermind.
Cape idea has been scrapped already.
