Whatever will they think of next?
Ultra-sensitive capitalists at Hallmark are selling “Unemployment Sympathy” cards for those who have been victimized by the downsizing ax.
As reported at the reference, in part:
With layoffs continuing across the country and the national unemployment rate hovering over 9 percent, Hallmark has designed a line of unique sympathy cards to help well-wishers commiserate with the recently pink-slipped, according to a CNN report.
The cards themselves feature messages ranging from the sentimental to the snarky. One reads: “Don’t think of it as losing a job. Think of it as a time-out between stupid bosses.”
There is even a move afoot by conservatives, none affiliated with Hallmark, to use Digital Signature technology that will enable 80 million or so voters to send President Obama a “Dear Barack” card in November of 2012.
The text in the Sympathy Card would read something like this:
November 6, 2012
Around 9pm EST
Dear Barack:
As you surely know by now, the American people have overwhelmingly elected not to extent your contract for another four years.
Please accept our condolences for what we know must be a very painful loss.
Although 80 million of us voted for your opponent, you should hold your head high in honor of the millions of illegal aliens and sleeper cell activists who voted with you to the very end.
Best wishes in your journey to find meaningful employment.
Now that you are out of the picture and ObamaCare has been rejected by the SCOTUS, business owners will surely rush to hire as many employees as possible.
That should make it easier for the hard-core unemployed, including yourself.
We recommend that you keep you chin up and look for a suitable position in a community organizer position.
We understand that Chicago Mayor Emanuel is hiring, for a hefty fee of course. When dealing with da mayor, be careful of hidden microphones and video recorders disguised as cell phone.
Thanks for four years of hysterical laughs,
The America People
