Ideas for the next Unemployment Olympics


SportsByBrooks weighs in on yesterday's Unemployment Olympics:

While events like Bashing a Pinata are nice, they are hardly in the spirit of actual Olympic events. With that in mind, I’ve come up with a few suggestions for new events to add if the Unemployment Olympics come back in 2010:

--The 100-Meter Dashed Career Expectations
--The Long Jump From Being A Senior Vice President To Working At Kinko’s
--Synchronized Drowning In A Sea Of Unpaid Bills
--Bad-News-Minton
--The 110-Meter First Interview Hurdle
--Waiting Tables Tennis
--The Try-Supporting-A-Family-On-Unemployment-Athlon

    Or for the more continental among us:

    -Pin the Tail on the I-Banker
    -Bobbing for Legacy Assets
    -Credit Default Swap Meet
    or my favorite: Tumbrel Races
