Ironically-named "Accuracy in Media" fails with "Gotcha" video at OWS DC
These guys collected personal info from people at OWS DC in the fake guise of being head hunters. They are mostly shut down even in their own edited video but after watching the big fail I was left wondering what laws they broke? They tried to get OWS people to fill out applications for existing and non-existing jobs -- only 2 people did (according to the fraudsters). Identity theft?

2. That was pretty funny actually
The last minute or so the protesters did a very good job of explaining that it isn't about individuals getting a job and being happy with everything, it is about the bigger system and that most of those jobs pay shitty wages. Change it from the inside, yeah right. Name-dropping Obama as though this is a Dem movement, fail. Those AIM dudes really didn't do their homework, or they could have done a much better job with their little bullshit game playing.

What jackasses.

And by the way, AIM, the text on screen at the end there had a big fat typo. It is 'acquired', not 'aquired'. Use spell check, morans (sic).

One more thing to make you look stupid compared to the protesters.

3. The comments are...enlightening
Apparently, according to many in the comments section at the Blaze, you should get a job that you cant' live on and will require you to contribute to the very problems you are trying to solve. As if making enough to survive is some special privilege.

How dare the Occupy people say that the crumbs they are being thrown aren't good enough! Ingrates!

And yet there's nothing wrong with the system that forces many of us into such circumstances.
