CBS "Occupy Your Couch" Radio Ad |
|
Driving home yesterday I heard--alas, several times--a CBS TV ad parodying the Occupy movement. Stirring patriotic music, rhetoric about freedom, exhortation to stand up for your rights as an American and "occupy your couch" while watching CBS's evening lineup.
Congratulations, OWS! You have reached Stage 2!
(You know. First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.)
Seriously. I went on a lot of anti-war marches. Nobody ever parodied us in a banal little radio ad for a general audience. This shows that the occupy movement has become part of the public consciousness in a way that all those International ANSWER-led things we all did back in the oughts never did and were never going to.
Good luck with Stage 3,
The Plaid Adder
