| Trolls gone troll |
This political trolling gag is exactly the type of thing I was writing about in this post about how we're constantly made to feel ridiculous for being progressives. Something called The Blaze, which should probably be a lot cooler than it is with a name like that, is giddy about showing these lazy hippies a thing or two. "The news media watchdog Accuracy in Media (AIM) released a video Wednesday that may denounce the notions from some that the Occupy protesters are primarily concerned with jobs."
May it? Well, it's hard to argue with pranks designed to discredit the anger of millions of citizens through a few goofy anecdotes. Maybe you just suck at recruiting AIM, did you ever think of that?

In it, “head hunters” set up a table full of job applications near the protest and start offering them to protesters. But the reception they get, according to the video, is less than warm. To many, that might seem odd considering the protesters have camped out in our nations capital for over a month following the Occupy Wall Street protest that began on September 17, partly because of no jobs. Accuracy in Media put it this way in a written statement:
“After more than a month of protest demands for better employment opportunities and benefits, Accuracy in Media saw fit to test their desires with…employment applications. Our ‘headhunters’ were treated to every excuse as to why these jobs aren’t good enough for them. We guess middle management opportunities with healthcare and 401k benefits aren’t desirable anymore.You guess so! Hahah, fuck you.
The comments on the site are pretty much self-explanatory. Here are a few of my favorites:

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 4:13pm They are not lying. They say they can’t do those jobs. Those jobs require a certain degree of aptitude and hard work. They are aware of their shortcomings and sitting around and complaining is their ability limit. That limits them to things like liberal activism.Delta_River_Folk

If these hippies just had a job, any job, no matter what, then everything would go back to normal, right?
Still waiting for evidence of the first funny conservative in existence... any ideas?
Also, if these protesters can't sit out in the cold all winter then their arguments don't count.
Glenn Beck runs the Blaze. And by the way, he's a funny conservative. Why, every day, he laughs hysterically at his own jokes..that's how funny they are, they even make him laugh!
