You can go to this link and meet occupiers from your home town. Post your fave!

http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2011/10/world/hires.occupy.irpt/index.html

So? How long until one of these protesters gets his/her own reality show? Or they could do Occupiers Of (city) like they do Real Housewives. Or they could do a Survivor version where people get voted off the sidewalk for being caught "acting like the 1%". heh.

ETA: Oops... here's my fave SD Occupier:

Photobucket

Shahrokh, 52 | Homeless and unemployed

When no one was in charge of sanitation for the camp, Shahrokh volunteered. He's been working to assemble a sanitation team, keep the area clean and mobilize a recycling program. "No one else wanted to do it, so I do it," he said.

HAHAHA!!! I can't even CHOOSE which single thing is the funniest in this guy!

C'mon! PICK YOUR 99%er! I think reality tv is going to a whole new level.

Here's my fav from Occupy SD:

Camilla Aguilar, 20 | Student
Aguilar supports campaign finance reform and wants to "unite the people that are the 99%," she said. Her sign, from a poem she was reading, says "You are working for cash that they already spent."

Not only do I love the quote from the sign, but the photo as well.

There's so much energy in it.

The sign for my life reads "I are working for cash that I already spent."

The problem with the OCCUPY movement is that its been co-opted by anarchists in some cities. Its in danger of just being a negative disruption as opposed to a force for change now.

Here I can see that the young people from a nearby college are drifting away and the ones that are still there actually don't have anywhere else to go and like the free food. The hobos (the real ones, so they say) are loving it.

Caught the morning news and the TV told me that very early this morning the police moved in and disbanded the encampment at the civic plaza in San Diego. 50 arrested. It was declared an "illegal gathering". Only took them 3 weeks to figure that out?

Great . . . now these fucking losers are becoming Internet sensations. Go ahead and log in to the site or the blog or whatever . . . You too can be a schill for these leftist hippy freeloaders. Every unemployed college student who has nothing better to do than sit on his ass in a tent eating chips and complaining about the evil CEOs can have his/her own 15 min. of fame.

Love it.
