| V for Vendetta by Allan Moore & David Lloyd |
Yesterday’s episode of South Park entitled “1%” exemplifies the asinine attempt of the 99% to enact change through “non-violent protest.” I’m not trying to say that the occupy Wall Street protesters don’t have a point; the so-called 1% did screw everybody else over just to make an easy buck. But we were complicit by letting them get away with it and electing ineffectual representatives that allow these sorts of shenanigans to occur. But back from my tangential mini tirade, best moment of the episode was when they have some protestor, wearing a Guy Fawkes mask, dancing. Many of the occupy Wall Street dickholes have also been seen wearing these masks. Yet I would wager my soul that not many of them know who Guy Fawkes was and what he stood for. He was just some uber-Catholic that was pissed that his religion was marginalized. Religious oppression has no significance in the protest that is going on today. They should adopt some more relevant heroes instead of something that they saw in a movie while they were tripping hard (it wasn’t even a good movie, read the comic book instead).
