OWS Demands (per The Onion!)

[joeybee12]

The Demands Of Occupy Wall StreetAs Occupy Wall Street enters its fifth week, its numbers are growing and the movement is beginning to take shape. Here are some of the protesters' demands:

Bank of America should be renamed Bank of Jerkmerica

A simple "We're sorry"

Corporations should be handing out more free promo items if their profits exceed $1 billion, even if it's just hats or those stupid foam cup-holder things

Arcade Fire to play one set for them or, if they're unavailable, Spoon

European-style socialist state so we can enjoy the same economic prosperity they do

Lower tuition at the private universities in the Northeast they chose to attend instead of in-state public colleges

Cheaper Odwallas

Holding senior executives accountable for the massive wealth lost and the millions of families they destroyed and making them feel really, really guilty about it

1. i take issue with the "European-style socialist state..." one

they include it with a list of joke demands, but I don't see anything ridiculous about that. :shrug:

2. Usually they have joke demands and the last one is bitingly real...

like they have here.

3. I agree about the last one

but the other one is like what the Daily Show sometimes tries to do, tries to mock both sides but they sometimes end up ridiculing things that aren't ridiculous.
