The Occupy Wall Street movement in New York City is a lot of things – controversial, inspiring, frustrating, maddening, spirited, confusing – so it shouldn’t surprise anyone that this ongoing effort by the so-called 99% rallying against the so-called 1% is now invoking its fair share of satire. Hell, if I were still in college I’d be working on a Spring Break package right now called Occupy Bourbon Street and I’d be ordering cases of beads and t-shirts that read: “Show me 99% of your boobs!”
But I’m not in college and I’m considered too “old” and “creepy” to go on Spring Break, so I’ll have to settle for the imagination and creativity of the Internet for the mockery that everyone knew was coming. And perhaps the first and best work comes to us via our friends at Tauntr, who also brought us the hope for Dude Food, as they have delivered a short series of photoshop efforts for #OccupySesameStreet, and they are glorious (my own contribution above).
After the jump, find out how to get to and #OccupySesameStreet.
UPDATE: We have more amazing, hilarious #OccupySesameStreet photoshops here.










The first image is characters from The Muppets, not Sesame Street
Hah, yeah man. A Sesame Street puppet ≠ a Muppet, but I’m sure a few hang out in the weirder parts of Sesame Street. Especially Gonzo… selling rocks, or something.
funny, Ses street freaked me out as a child, it still does
They’re pooping on cars and having sex just casually out in the open now. Oh and meditating while reciting everything Russel Simmons preaches. It is difficult to have a side on this thing considering the people protesting are effing nut jobs and the people their protesting against are mostly rich scumbags. Curiousor and curiousor.
Bert would absolutely be the first to get arrested.
