Occupy Wall Street Commercial

Now, I find this endlessly amusing. Not that I object the content or what the people are saying (I even like it!), but the choice of word by the producers of this spot: commercial. Doesn’t it defeat the purpose of OWS to begin with?! Are they going to release a line of “Official OWS merchandise” next? If so, I’d like my faux union approved protective gear, please. And I hope it comes in rainbow colors.

For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
