As opposed to all the Occupants who retain amateur attention whore status?

I see we're trying to run ahead to meet this thread's tard quota early.

Anyway, no surprise. You may not be down with the occupations' tactics, but only a complete goddamned idiot or scared plutocrat would actually be down enough on the message to take the time to counterprotest...

Poe's law. It can be hard to tell. There's three kinds of really funny right-wing trolls: a) The ones who are so over-the-top and blatantly unserious that it's obvious they're having a go at the rightists (Colbert-style, basically), b) Theme trolls, who do things like embed word searches or have apparently serious rants coupled with an image macro stating the exact opposite of what their post was ostensibly about, and c) Ones who seem like crazy right-wingers on their face, usually with a few sparing and occasional concessions to type A-style over-the-top-ness, but taken in large chunks their corpus is basically a serious of elaborate and, when parsed out, clearly stated jokes (dearly departed skookum was the king of this). YELLOL is type C.

Look Daddy, I couldn't make the Jerry Springer Show, so I joined my buddies in an OWS protest to vehemently express our grievances regarding...um, you know - the MAN! It was really cool cuz we got our message across that we resent others being more successful cuz it's not fair! We showed 'em too, Daddy!

Hey Dad, mind if I hang at home for a few months? This accomplishment took a lot out of me and I have to, you know, get over all this stress. I worked real hard to make a change, Daddy!

Corporate Clone 1: "We should put a couple of our people into the news coverage of OWS. Conscientious objectors if you will. LOL. Let's make them twins. Appeal to the family demographic. That would play well with our retarded inbred family-values voters from Kentucky."

CC2: "Good idea, but the word has come down from above that we also need to pay homage to our masters with respect to the surnames involved. If we're not able to put some of advertising slant on this then corporate says we'll all be on the breadline next Monday. We need to think outside of the box here, people."

CC3: "What about the "Oil Big" family?"

CC2: "No. Any retard in the electorate knows that that's just the two words that pay our bills in reverse order. Try again"

CC3: "We could call them the "Root brothers", Kellog and Brown."

CC2: "No"

CC4: "How about we call them the "Ballihurton" brothers?"

CC1: "No, President Cheney has already seen that suggestion, and he didn't care for it."

Personally I'm a member of the 32%. I live in one of the 16 states that pay more in Federal taxes than they receive back in government funds. In fact, were my state to get back only what it pays into the system, my effective tax rate would be 25% lower.

The real welfare queens are the red staters, sucking vigorously at the Federal teat while whining about how high their taxes are. Get a job, hippies.

What does a professional attention whore make an hour? $400, $200, $100, $5.75?

And this Hair Club for Men guy in the brown coat? Who would pay him for sex? Or attention, except during Halloween?

As long as New York's finest is getting good overtime, doing some inflitrating, and getting free Thanksgiving Dinners -- it's a win win. And the news media can schedule stuff since they know who, what, where, when -- even if they stumble on the why.
