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.

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.

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!

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.
