unemployment

Call me when you see a horse dressed as an unemployed college graduate.

Tosh.0: Making unemployment fun since 2009.

Alright, follow me on this one…

Golden Grahams — yes, the cereal — has started their Golden Grant program at GoldenGrant.com.

The idea is — and pay close attention because this is TOTALLY LOGICAL — that it's hard to find a job in these tough economic times, so Golden Grahams is giving you the opportunity to win 12 free boxes of Golden Grahams — since you "can't succeed on an empty stomach" — if you share with them your "ridiculous job search story," which, by the way, they might animate into viral videos "so that other jobseekers can laugh along too."

Yikes.  Apparently, the stoners who eat Golden Grahams actually work for Golden Grahams.

Though I guess there is some inherent rationale to this whole mess.  The kind of people who can't handle getting a job probably are the same kind of people who would prefer to watch goofy animated videos online all day.

And if you are watching animated videos all day, you probably have a child-like mind-state, whereby regularly consuming Golden Grahams is a perfectly logical meal choice.

And awarding these people 12 boxes of Golden Grahams as a prize creates a "feedback loop" whereby these unemployable loons never fully progress to adulthood, allowing them to create more job search fail stories for Golden Grahams to animate, keeping these Golden Graham eaters watching online videos, assuring that they will be brainwashed into eating more Golden Grahams.

It's so stupid it just might work!

But seriously, Golden Grahams, you can't get away with calling 12 boxes of cereal a "grant."  That's just insane.

Fail? Really??

I think FAIL Blog is the real terrorist here: I regularly feel like they need a waterboarding.

Calling this a fail is kind of a stretch. If I were going to slap an Arial Black comment on this picture it might be "IRONIC" or "MILDLY AMUSING," but not "FAIL."

Who's failing? The guy with the terrorist shirt? With unemployment at 10.2% in October, you have to seek work anywhere you can. The economy is a bigger threat than this "terrorist."

And speaking of the "terrorist," why isn't the Homeland Security worker detaining him?  Maybe that's the fail?

But look at him. He's too skinny to have gone through 67 weeks at an Afghan training camp. He's also a little pale considering those long days in the desert sun.

She's not falling for his shirt, because Homeland Security obviously endorses racial profiling. So maybe this is a "political correctness" fail? That woman will feel awfully stupid when this kid brings down the entire career fair.

Nope, this fail goes to FAIL Blog.  Pure and simple.
