Occupy Wall Street Humor: Great Cartoon Plus The Onion

This hilarious cartoon is making the rounds:



“I am the 1%. Smithers, release the hounds.”



And The Onion has a great short piece on Occupy Wall Street, “Nation Waiting For Protesters To Clearly Articulate Demands Before Ignoring Them”:

NEW YORK—As the Occupy Wall Street protest expands and grows into a nationwide movement, Americans are eagerly awaiting a list of demands from the group so they can then systematically disregard them and continue going about their business, polls showed this week.



“The protesters need to unify around a shared agenda with precise policy goals so I can begin paying no attention to them whatsoever,” said Tulsa, OK poll respondent Kaye Petrachonis, echoing the thoughts of millions across the country. “If they don’t have a clear power structure organized around specific demands first, then I’ll never be able to completely tune them out due to a political conflict of interest or an inability to comprehend complex, detailed economic concepts. These people really need to get their act together.”



Once Occupy Wall Street has a concrete set of objectives in place, the majority of Americans said they would go back to waiting for the sluggish economy to recover while blindly accepting things the way they are.

D’oh!
