Funemployed poster
NR

A masochistic girl is saved from a life of scrounging and skiving when she develops an obsessive crush on David Cameron. Totally irreverent in tone, 'Funemployed' exploits whimsical pop-video imagery to playfully present a dreamworld of job seeking far removed from the grey reality of being young, broke and directionless.
