    Occupy Sesame Street

    Occupy Wall Street? What about Occupy Sesame Street?

    October 5, 2011 | 5:26pm

    You've heard of Occupy Wall Street, but how about Occupy Sesame Street?

    That's a newish hash tag -- #occupysesamestreet -- that has emerged on Twitter over the last two weeks, with tweets that are less strident and more absurd than those associated with #occupywallstreet.

    For example, Michael Busch tweeted: "Truly outrageous that 99% of the cookies are consumed by 1% of the monsters on PBS."

    Or Patton Oswalt's: "The counting vampires are destroying America!"

    Or this one from @h0mfr0g: "In a democracy, it's your vote that counts. On Sesame Street, it's your count that votes. Ah-ah-ah."

    James McKay came up with: "Why do they need a Big Bird?! It's a recession, what about a medium sized bird?"

    And Jon Lustig writes: "Wages at Mr. Hooper's store have frozen since 1982."

    As all fans of comedy know, the Twittersphere may be useful for political organizing, but it has become totally essential as a comedic device.

    And in fact, comedy has even leaked into the much more serious #occupywallstreet.

    Just today Mike Houghton tweeted: "do you think those who #occupywallstreet have occupied a shower?"

    Long live the one-liner!

    Here are some Tweets I collected from the #occupywallstreet hashtag on Twitter:

    The #OccupyWallStreet list of demands is so childish it should have been scrawled on a wall in crayon. #GrowUpLosers

    @feskone if America is "fascist", why are the world's poor dying to come here from socialist countries? #occupywallstreet = #usefulidiots

    #occupywallstreet - it's been done. Russia in 1917, thanks to moronic hipsters like you, became Lenin's USSR. #usefulidiots

    Dear #OccupyWallStreet: Let's say we force income equality. The very next day there would be disparity. You know this, right?

    I bet Obama is laughing his ars off at the #OccupyWallStreet protests. He's finally convinced a handful of idiots Capitalism is the enemy.

    #OccupyWallStreet: If you are tweeting your anger about capitalism on an iPhone, think very hard about what that means...

    Let's turn out country over to a bunch of shirtless scruffy kids with drums! They have the answers! #occupywallstreet

    T or F: 3 of 5 unemployed #OccupyWallStreet types have mastered 'Critical Theory' but don't know how to do anything practical.

    Don't for a second think that the #occupywallstreet drones won't sprint to the polls for Obama in 2012. It's what leftists do.

    ExJon Jon G.
    So did #occupywallstreet end capitalism or do I still have to go to work tomorrow?

    I wonder how many $5 pumpkin spice lattes have been consumed at #OccupyWallStreet. You've gotta warm up somehow!

    Who does it better? #OccupyWallStreet: demands, violence, chaos, 700 arrests. #TeaParty: core beliefs, peaceful, community, 45 offices won.

    Occupy Wall Street demonstrators are railing against corporate greed, social inequality and other grievances.

    Earlier Saturday, two other marches went over the bridge without problems.

    One was from Brooklyn to Manhattan by a group opposed to genetically modified food.

    Another in the opposite direction marched against poverty.
