    (WARNING – tongue in cheek comment following:)
    This needn’t be limited to jobless recent college graduates.

    A cryogenic stasis in suspended animation with revivification can also be offered to aspiring utopians who are extremely unhappy with the non-utopian state of society.

    When man-contrived utopia finally arrives on Earth, those in such a stasis can be revivified to live out their lives in utopian splendor.

    This concept has a sort of ‘eugenic ring’ to it, doesn’t it?

  2. Marie Blocher says:

    Hope they also “freeze” the student loans these graduates owe. Otherwise the interest will be awful.

  3. Mark Baddeley says:

    tsk tsk. Someone didn’t read the final punch-line:

    [blockquote] When reached for comment, a spokesman for loan provider Sallie Mae said that educational loans taken out by graduates in cryogenic storage would continue to accrue interest indefinitely at 6.5 percent.[/blockquote]

    Although this one was just packed with gems all through.
