Because revolution should, first and foremost, be fun – and not take itself too seriously.
There are now more than 1000 spin-off actions of Occupy Wall Street – from Occupy Albuquerque to Occupy Yucca Valley. But… can you tell me how to get to Occupy Sesame Street?
It is, indeed, truly outrageous that 1% of the monsters get 99% of the cookies…
According to the timeline at timeline at Mother Jones, it all started with a one-tweet visual joke from graphics studio nonstopdemo,
They used the hashtag #occupysesamestreet. And then pattonoswalt jumped on it, and Tauntr.com, and it kind of took off.
Now there’s even an Occupy Sesame Street Facebook page with 14,000 fans !
Which is awesome. As Emma Goldman said, “If I can’t dance, I don’t want to be a part of your revolution!”
