Yeah, here's another one of those "Cracked.com may be 'just' a humor website, but damn if they don't have their finger directly on the pulse of contemporary society" posts.
I honestly think this is a must read, particularly for all of those out there (and yes, I personally know of at least two or three people with this mindset) who think that the OWS crowd are just a bunch of self-entitled hippie losers or something. As the article eloquently points out, they're not (entirely) to blame for that. (Assuming, of course, that the "bah, entitled losers" mindset is even a valid one to begin with, something about which I have my doubts.) You don't have to agree with it, but you should still read it, I think.
Also, not entirely unrelated to the above, I'm going to copy this link here as well (previously only posted to my FB). The question here: who is the OWS protester in this scenario, Susie or Calvin? I interpret it as Susie being the protester and Calvin being the thing being protested against. Others seem to have (somehow) interpreted it as Calvin himself being representative of the OWS protesters. (As in "Herp, ayup, panel 6 Calvin there is totally like those OWS buffoons, amuhrite, derp?")
