I’m pretty sure this is what is going to happen to the Occupy Wall St™ (brought to you by Starbucks) movement in Manhattan, from beginning to end.
1. It starts with a bunch of unemployed, hipster douchebag, debt ridden kids that don’t understand that they are to blame for their position in life.
2. It blooms into a staged ‘protest’ against something, anything. The kids have time on their hands.
3. Unions and other political groups try to scoop it up for support, exploiting class envy.
4. Hipster douchebags welcome the outside groups for their solidarity, but mostly for the free pizza.
5. After getting not quite stoned enough, one of the original hipster douchebags will realize the unions, and mainstream people brought to the Occupy Wall St™ aren’t very hipster.
6. Original hipster douchebags will slowly realize they are cooler than the new people.
7. Original hipster douchebags will slink off, back to their shitty apartments, wondering how the movement was taken over by non-hipsters, but secretly reveling in the fact that they are the original hipster douchebags.
8. Hipster douchebags will start talking about Occupy Wall St™ in exactly the same manner as the obscure bands they listened to in high school, like The Shins, that went mainstream. They’ll be sure to tell you that they were fans before it was, like, popular, you know?
Hah, nice one, MJ! Everyone has to feel superior, don’t they?
But you can’t show it! Then you’re just as bad as “The Man™”.

You know what makes me laugh?
That these people actually don’t realize that they are representatives of The Man™, all of whom they voted for in 2008.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
