Are you CALM enough?

Seems like a weird question right? I was taking the subway home and one side of the car was filled with ads saying:

  • Are you CALM enough?
  • Are you STRONG enough?
  • Are you COOL enough?
  • Are you CLEAR enough?

What were these adds for? NYS Child Protective Services looking for people to apply. I wanted to add a couple:

  • Are you ROBOTIC enough?
  • Are you EMOTIONALLY CRIPPLED enough?

because it sounds like they are looking for people with cast-iron stomachs who don’t feel anything. They probably are, that’s what’s sad. Every face on the ads was stoic, mask-like. Made me want to curl up into a ball, not apply for a job.
