The occupy movement has packed up their tents and gone back to sleeping in their parents' basement. Has anything even changed as a result of their actions? The simple answer is no!
I think the "occupiers" could have achieved great things if they had only picked the right spot for their protest movement. Instead they picked locations that looked good on TV such as Wall Street. Other then a few day traders needing delousing and the odd tetanus shot, none of the 1% was inconvenienced in any fashion.
I propose that to get results, the occupiers should not have camped out on Wall Street but rather they should have "occupied" every washroom in New York.
If you've ever been outside a locked bathroom door - legs crossed, buttocks clenched, your face drenched with sweat - praying frantically to whatever God you hold dear - you understand how effective this technique could have been.
The nightly news would be full of images of the rich and powerful shifting uncomfortably from side to side in front of a locked bathroom door. Marijuana smoke would leak out the edges of the door as the occupiers enjoyed a bong. While a shot of the New York socialite would show the rising levels of panic and fear in their eyes.
As the news cameras continued to film, voices would be raised,and sphincters would get clenched even tighter. On every news network in the country the rich and powerful of New York would be seen begging and pleading for mercy.
Sure there are likely to be casualties from this new occupy movement but nothing that a trip to the dry cleaners could not fix.
How motivated would you be to negotiate,if you came across a locked bathroom door just as you felt that unmistakeable stirring in your bowels?
