Putting feathers in your ass does not make you a chicken.

Recently I have seen a large surge in the “stand on the road with a sign” job market. Today I saw someone dressed in a giant Elvis costume holding a sign that said “KING SIZE DEALS!” I laughed. In laughing I decided that the only purpose for jobs such as these are to humiliate people. I don’t think that any reasonable advertising works with these tactics, and I have a hunch that they are less effective than side-of-bus advertising (In case you don’t know, the side of the bus has been touted for a long time as the least effective advertising tactic).
I know the economy is bad, and that some people need to get more income to pay all the bills, but damn. Don’t lower yourself to holding a sign in the hot Florida sun for a measly $5.85 an hour, or whatever min. wage is now. Working at the BK Lounge is less humiliating.
But that’s me.
