Here's the next update - pix hot off the digital presses from this morning. I'm also setting up a ping list to ping folks who've already posted on this thread.

If you want off the list, please sent me a FReepmail and I'll remove you immediately.

With that out of the way, on to the main attraction.

I know that it's considered best to let the pictures speak for themselves, but after wandering around on the deck of this ship of fools, I cannot help but add some explicit editorial comment; after all, without the express commentary, the ludicrous nature of their activities would probably go right over their heads.

First, the sum and substance of it all; the one real reason why middle-class college students like to play at being working-class and going on protests:




Next, the curious. I'm not good at recognizing stars on the street, but I have to say that this chap reminds me of nothing so much as of Al Pacino from the movie "Devil's Advocate." I don't know if that's who it is, but certainly the Devil has no shortage of advocates at this affair!




Then there's the cute, the mildly amusing, the "mispeling," and the chess. I found it to be just another in a long list of damning examples of the parlous state of the American educational system that the spelling skills of today's college graduates are not "approprate" to their status in life. Maybe this is a small, but telling, reason for why so many of these chumps can't find their dream jobs - they cannot spell anything harder than one-syllable words. Perhaps it's too difficult for them to sound out multi-syllable words?




Funny how these folks can't spell, can't think logically, and cannot find Wall Street, even though they're three blocks away from it, but they still fancy themselves intellectuals, playing chess in the park. How quaint.




Now on to the bizarre and the truly clueless; I think these pix speak for themselves:




This one is just too rich with irony and incongruity:




Finally, there's my A #1 favorite subject: OccupyWallStreet's love affair with McDonalds.




   


That last one really cracked me up. The guy's sitting there with a scarf/bandana around his face, up to his eyes, like he's some big bad revolutionary who's going to be grabbed off the streets by paramilitary forces, tortured into imbecility, and then dumped into the wastelands of NJ, next to the likes of innumberable mobsters (and maybe even Hoffa!?!). To complete the ensemble, he's painted the slogan "TROOPS OF TOMORROW" on the sleeve of his leather jacket.

Apparently, when the Revolution comes, McDonalds will be spared so the "troops of tomorrow" can continue to enjoy the fare and mooch the wi-fi.

"Where's the student loan bailout?"

Here's a novel concept...PAY YOUR BILLS! If you can't face reality; how about a swan dive off of some building...there are PLENTY right in the neighborhood.

So they’re complaining about their student loans.
HUH was they forced to go to college, was they forced to sign for the loans?

No course not.
10,000 Lawyers unemployed , now where the hell did they get that figure from besides we have too many already.

They can’t spell, most have no clue why they don’t have jobs, well look for one you clowns and go to the white house to protest as it is the person who they voted for is making this economy worse.

Some rich students are there for what?
MOM and DAD gave them a nice house, paid for their upbringing and it was the system they protest which let MOM and DAD get that money for them .

UAW workers protesting, why?
It was them taking out money which bailed them out to keep their jobs so why would they protest.

Unions protesting , Why?
Their jobs give them 401k’s which correct if I am wrong but that means they need the market and wall street.
So in essence they are protesting their 401k’s ???????????

Because it so so much nice to be a friend of the working class than a member.

Terrific! Thank you for the ping Oceander. You have a career waiting in the media you know. :)

[Graewoulf]

Thanks for the update. Keep me on your Ping list, please. Thanks for the analysis with pictures to back up your statements.

I liked the sign of the 200,000 dollar debt that one student had racked up. That should give him a goal in life: Pay your expenses, taxes, and maybe you will retire at age 65 dead broke. But you will have paid off your student loan !

[keepitreal]

Yep. They love McDonald’s but are too good to work there. That’s for non-Ivy-leaguers. I have a friend who’s out of college about one year who was thrilled to get a job as assistant manager with Chick-Fil-A. Of course, he went to one of those loser state schools.

Chess is a game that requires thinking. Therefore, this guy (girl?) probably sucks at it.
