Occupy Boston changes course - "More hours, less pay"
gotta love it...
On December 17th, 2011, three months after the start of the #Occupy movement, Occupy Boston finally realized they had it all wrong. This is their march.
Clever, creative, funny, pointed, and non-violent protest - THIS is what the First Amendment looks like
i'll tell ya... this kind of stuff really inspires me... it's clever, it's creative, it definitely makes a point and, what's more, it attracts a lot of attention from a lot of people who, if was a routine, sign-carrying, slogan-chanting street demonstration, would probably give it a wide berth...

ya know something...? one of the most powerful tools for social expression is humor... we all know that incredibly touchy and complex issues can be capsulized via humor and in these days of intense polarization and skins so thin they can't even be touched, humor can lighten the load without hiding from the issues... good stuff...
As Occupy Wall Street grows, it's time for the Bankstas to show their pimp-hands. Herman Cain guest stars.
The Cult Comedy Picture Show created this parody music video at New York City’s Zuccotti Park, based on the Geto Boys’ 1992 song “Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.” The music video features a guest appearance by Herman Cain, who tells the “Occupy Wall Street” slackers to stop “cryin cus’ they broke.”
