Look what everybody is doing these days: just cold occupyin’ things & places. This is a school board/New York board of education meeting of some kind. The parents are all, “Well fuuuuuuucccckkkk all of y’all, we have heard about the #OWS and we will just repeat/chant things until you give us our Freedoms of Education or whatever.” This is great, everybody needs to Occupy Everything, for total comedy fulfillment, nationwide.
In the golden age of Direct Labor Action in the United States — the 1870s through the early 1930s, before the labor movement was co-opted by the Democrats and Industry and “progressive gazillionaires” — people were occupying and striking and taking over everything, coffee shops and factories and schools and railroads and farms. It’s going to be so much fun when Today’s People unplug the teevee for good, call Verizon or Comcast and tell ‘em to stick it up their porthole, and go seize everything everywhere, because it’s is already theirs.

Is occupy Sesame Street next?
haven't you seen that already- At the Murdoch meeting- Elmo and the Count?
That wasn't Occupy Fox News?
Done.
The look on that kid's face when he sees the cops dragging Ernie (or is that Burt?) away is priceless.
I hope all these parents think about their actions when they're spending Saturday in Detention.
I hope you know this will go down on your permanent record…
The occupiers heard about those $85k teaching jobs and are just hanging around hoping for one.
And 4 months vacation!!!
All the cool kids are doing it.
Needz moar Pinkertons!
#Occupy Youtube!

Kill, kill, kill
Thrill, thrill, thrill
Make a scene
Bump off the Dean
Yeh, yeh, yeh
Knock off the squares
Take to the street
Kill everyone you meet
Just kill, kill, kill
Hey, hey, hey
Dig what I say,
Get a gun
And kill your mum
Woh, woh, woh
Don’t you know
Love is out
Hate’s what it’s about
Just kill, kill, kill
Don’t just stand there being placid
Get into some psychopathic acid
I’ll take you to a place that’s purple and paisley
There’s no problem everybody is crazy
Come on get rid of your frustration
Get into our hate generation
If you are ready……
Kill, kill, kill
Thrill. Thrill, thrill
Make a scene
Bump off the Dean
Woh, woh, woh
Don’t you know
Love is out
Hate’s what it’s about
Just kill, kill, kill
Worst. Porn. Ever.
I've seen worse. I just stopped the vid at 46 sec. and it was good for me.
My grandkids' education costs too damn much. Occupy Montessori!!!
My classes is too big
Was that intentional to prove that very point?
But if today ends up like the 1870s-1930s, then the corporate overlords will all start hiring Blackwater/"Xe" to go and stone cold massacre all of the occupiers.
The distribution of firepower in the 21st century is awfully asymmetric; we probably don't want to be going there. Pitchforks and small arms just ain't what they used to be.
Nice production work.
Occupy Final Cut Pro!
Well I can un-ironically say that was an awesome movie where, like, the little people just took over and chased the "MAN" out of the room. I want this to happen everywhere all the time now.
And still nothing on Wonkette about the Occupy Nashville arrests. Who does a southern governor have to oppress to get some respect around here?
Southern governor + repression ≠ news
Opressing folks is pretty much a requirement to hold elected office in the South.
Hitler?
I thrilled this occupy thing is catching on. Here's my OCCUPY contribution. Pass it on. Thanks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0Kr1lHgggU
So what website to I go to to send these occupiers a paper-thin pizza with sausage crumbles on it and a cup of canned peaches?
Lemme know. I got some sloppy joes to contribute.
Here is the OWS pizza supplier. Order some OccuPies.

As long as we're occupying the turf of the 1%, I'm going to go occupy Peter Luger until they give me one of those $42 steaks. With the $7 fries on the side.
Needz moar Jeanne C. Riley.
All I will say is that the NYC Public School my kids attend had their budget cut by $1.5 M over the last 2 years, to make up for lost tax revenue because Wall St. fraudsters weren't able to pay as much to their employees (but payed plenty in protected bonus payments to the upper echelon). So yes, occupy the fuck out of Bloomberg's DOE please because fuck him with a fork.
FLASH OCCUPY MOB!
So well organized!
I guess the "sheeple" are waking up!
From now on, FROM NOW ON, my comments will be, MY COMMENTS WILL BE, in Ocupado format, IN OCUPADO FORMAT, as a show of, AS A SHOW OF, solidarity, SOLIDARITY
***finger wiggles*** ***finger wiggles***
No finger wiggles… HOO FUCKING RAY!!
(I did upfist the finger wiggles though… although applause already exists)
One thing this video assuredly did not occupy was my attention.
Today the school board, tomorrow the US House of Representatives…
I plan to occupy the blonde in my bed. But I have a feeling the would occupy me.
Avec des regrets Monty Python.
Sheesh. The next thing you know, people will be occupying all the bars where Wall St. stockbrokers go to drink after their long hard days.
I did that last week. From the looks of the crowd around the bar and the smile on the bartender, I wasn't the only one who had the idea.
Good on you Ken!!!
Don't forget the strip joints, I mean "gentlemen's clubs."
Actually, has anyone reached out to the employees there? I am now fantasizing that some speculator will try to get a lap dance, only to have all the girls say "Sorry, I'm occupied."
**finger wiggles**
Was that guy trying to say something?!?
HooFuckingRay…. GREAT JOB PEOPLE!!!!!!
At 1:31 I think the guy shits his pants!!!!
Fucking AWESOME!!!
Quick run… these are 99% of real fucking people you fucking maggots!!
Cut. And. Run.
PEP dude just lost the PR war when he walked away in a huff instead of accepting the invitation to their general assembly, AFTER lecturing her about interrupting him — way to prove the other side's point, Chancellor Walcott!
I'm inspired – tonight I occupy the corner of the bathroom where the cat litter box sits. It will be a mean stare-down, but the cat will win (they always do). BTW, where is RILEY?
As a musician, I am quite pleased to see that the phrase "mic check" is now a battle cry.
OMG, y'all! 'Are' Children is learnin' in the face of budget cuts! That's socialism! Freak the fuck out!
Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, and hide yo husband, cuz they Occupying errybody out there.
We shall Occupy the beaches, we shall Occupy the landing grounds, we shall Occupy in the fields and in the streets, we shall Occupy in the hills; we shall never surrender! Huzzah! Terra pax and so forth and so on.
Occupy that shit; Occupy the fuck out of it.
And it shall be our finest hour.
28 student per classrooms? **snort** They are packing in 40 to 50 in Detroit classrooms this school year, and with not enough textbooks to go around to boot. Some teachers are having to have class in their school's auditorium when it's available, otherwise some students end up in hallways and closets. The fire marshall's been going around fining schools for overcrowding.
Citizen activism in local government? (clutches pearls and swoons)
the 1870s through the early 1930s, before the labor movement was co-opted by the Democrats and Industry and “progressive gazillionaires”
This needed to be said.
"I know what will win this crowd over! I will shake my head, roll my eyes, smirk, and walk out of the room. Voters eat that shit up!"
The Oct. 25 meeting was a public meeting was it not? It was scheduled as a "Chancellor's Conversation on Raising Standards in the Classroom." What did the Chancellor do? He ran away from the very people he is supposed to be representing. But, I suppose if you're appointed by other powers that be instead of elected by the people, for the people, then you are out of touch with the people. The problem I see with the powers that be is their unwillingness to engage with the people. Why hasn't Mayor Bloomberg visited the GA and talked to people? Instead he launches violent reactions by a militarized police force, much like many of the occupied cities. Power to the Peaceful!
