Occupy Wall Street Finally Clears Out as Last Squatters Leave to Camp Out For 'The Dark Knight Rises

[zappaman]

Almost a year after the birth of New York City's Occupy Wall Street movement in which thousands of protestors filled Zuccotti Park, organizers announced today that the last remaining squatters have decided to leave and instead camp out in front of the Ziegfeld Theater on W. 54th Street to ensure they'll get good seats for the first showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" when the movie opens Thursday at midnight.

"Unlike the original Occupy Wall Street movement, this will actually accomplish something," said Chris Davis, one of the last protestors to leave Zuccotti Park. "Not only will we be the first people to see 'The Dark Knight Rises' when it opens, but unlike Zuccotti Park, the theater is air conditioned and has indoor plumbing."

Occupy Wall Street’s critics immediately criticized the movement, saying the fact they’re giving up just so they can see the final installment in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy proves they never truly believed in their cause to begin with.

1. The author of the piece seems to be a bit 'humor-challenged' as well. n/t

2. You might put the parody disclaimer at the top...

Considering all the phony accusations and twisted coverage of Occupy by conservative outlets, it's a little disingenuous to accuse DUers who don't pick up on the parody of being "humor-challenged."

3. Yes, it is asking a lot to read it at the bottom of the post, isn't it?

Exhausting!
