And a year from now everyone will associate the message of these protests with the idiots they pick for the show.

Oh god, that is farking priceless. That picture alone should work as the counterargument against these shenanigans.

I am the 99%, and I hate the rest of the 99% that thinks someone else should pay because someone spent 93k on a farking cullinary arts "education."

They should change from 'MTV' to 'DBTV' - since there's no more 'M' involved, and their flagship offerings are nothing more than 'baggery fodder.

MTV hasn't been relevant or meaningful in years. This just further confirms it.

if i were a conspiracy theorist, i would say that this is a subtle move by viacom to help discredit the movement. im sure they will pick protesters that are truly representative of those who support ows (i wish i had a sarcasm font for that last sentence)

Just give in. I find the influx of hate raises give me headaches and indigestion but it's easing the arthritis pain in my hands and feet and gives me a bit of extra pep when I start strangling people with my mind.

This is a lame idea, kind of like the movement itself. That being said the TV ad they're going to run (new window) is well made.

That is the problem with wanting to represent the 99%. 25% of that is pretty much worthless, but they make for some subpar entertainment.

I'm truly sorry for you and your daughter. Truly. But has it never crossed your mind that, given that your degree is utterly worthless, your best bet is to get a job, any job you can get, to feed your daughter, default on your loans if you have to, and work towards a better job with which to pay off that debt?

Y'know, at this point I think people are trolling with those pics, coming up with the most downright ridiculous, nonsensical pictures they can exaggerating the 99%, and using them as False Flag operations to try to discredit them.

yea the spelling on cullinary arts gives it away. or maybe that was done purposefully to play a pun on the word cull and culinary.
