True: A group recently gave out suits to Occupy Wall Street protesters, citing the need to "look sharp" while the world is watching. Before: "Rabble Rouser!" After: "What an upstanding young man!"
We at Slowpoke propose a parallel movement: Unsuit Wall Street. For too long, professional attire has been lending a respectable veneer to radical economic ideas. Banker: "No jobs program!" "Less banking regulation!"
What if these plutocrats dressed like the extremists they are? Mohawk made of benjamins, spikes made from foreclosed homes, Hermes Class Kickers
Then more Americans might get it... Banker: "Don't touch my bonus!" Old lady: "To think we let these punks destroy the economy!"
