OccupyWallStreet - Not

A little tourists' cornucopia from the big, bad OccupyWallStreet thingey. I took the images below on my way to work this morning - discarded most of 'em cause they were just too pathetic - and thought I'd share them. My absolute fave is that earnest-looking upper middle class white kid in the bottom 4 pix (my "vignettes") - especially the last one, where he's so neatly folding his Buzz Lightyear towel - probably still smells like the Downy fabric softener mommie used when she washed it for him.

Please feel free to borrow as you wish, and to editorialize as you wish - but only so long as you isolate, polarize, and ridicule.

Lastly, just a warning - these pics are the small(er) versions of my originals. If you click on one, it will open up a larger version in a new window. Be forewarned, however: the larger files are about 1.1MB to 1.4MB in size.

Great pictures and reporting - If I were in NY I would come with you!

[rlmorel]

I can smell those people from here. I detest the left.

There’s a lot of nice loot down there in Zucotti Park tonight. Some enterprising flash-mobber should get a bunch of his bros together to raid the place. It’s almost time for Christmas shopping.

If NYC can’t raise some appreciative wilders, I think we can spare some of our Philadelphia yoots.

so where are you troll?

In Canada or down with the other anti war groups which you were in?

Tell me how is the bathroom working out for you lot?

Cool! Thanks. I’m gonna see if I got any useful video the other day myself now.

[P-Marlowe]

Enjoy! I might bring my videocam with me tomorrow morning and stroll through the "encampment" like some awestruck tourist type.

Ask everyone why they are there and then post it on You Tube.

Ask everyone why they are there and then post it on You Tube.

A Sacremento, CA TV station did that at the protests there, and met with some interesting results.

And so did Andrew Breitbart.

Great thread. Glad you posted the link on the other thread.

Hey...I thought smoking was now illegal in NY?

[ColdOne]

Thanks for posting!

[Oceander]

You're most welcome!

Also, since you're the last ping on my list, I'm going to use this reply to post up a bit of video I took Thursday at the occupywallstreet encampment - hopefully, there won't be too much laughter at the amateurish camera-work and the childish voice-over commentary.

So, with that out of the way, here's the video:



Just in case this isn't displaying properly, the direct link to the vid file at photobucket is: http://s758.photobucket.com/albums/xx221/B_Oceander/Occupy%20Wall%20Street%20-%20Not/?action=view&current=occupywallstreet_10-05-2011.mp4

[Oceander]

Gonna try this once more, and then I guess I'll just have to hope that you good people will follow the link:



If'n it doesn't, the direct link (set to open in a new browser window/tab) is: http://s758.photobucket.com/albums/xx221/B_Oceander/Occupy%20Wall%20Street%20-%20Not/?action=view&current=occupywallstreet_10-05-2011.mp4

Oh well; I guess the embedded video thing isn't gonna work for me.

2011 version of Woodstock! :)

Step one, get a few hundred people show up, set up what looks like a homeless camp, except you notice the iPods, MacBooks, and new designer clothes. Claim you are poor and disenfranchised.

Step two, come up with a list of contradictory demands.

Step three, get Union rent-a-mobs to show up to get a one time group of thousands. Get a sympathetic MSM to report that thousand are protesting all the time.

Step four....? Figure it out later, right after McDonalds.

[nutmeg]

Great thread, Oceander... thanks!

[nutmeg]

It’s gonna be getting cold pretty soon.

Yup, which means the real down-and-out types - the street bums - will be showing up to "share the warmth" pretty soon. I wonder how long these pretty-boy trustafarians are going to put up with Stinky Pete - and his pet lice and other assorted vermin - spooning with 'em for warmth.

ROTFL!

[ponygirl]

The merchants in the area just have to post “Restrooms for Customers Only” signs and it’s all over.

You forget that most of them are still in diapers.

[bIlluminati]

gotta do my job first, so's I can pay the taxes needed to support these lazy parasites /sarc

Fixed it (no /sarc necessary).

[Beckett08]

Could you put me on your list so I don’t miss any updates? Thanks

[PatriotGirl827]

This is great stuff - your commentary has me cracking up!
