Forum Post: What OWS doesn't want you to know about the Colbert Report piece.

I'm amazed how OWS is seeking to "spin" this as positive for the movement. If the main argument is that his humor is deep and contorted and is actually seeking to promote the virtues of the GA - then you have failed at SPIN 101. He's broadcasting to the World not some University philosophy class. IT IS WHAT IT IS and that's how it will be received by the audience. Compare it to any other of his routines and you'll see that he went pretty far in outlining the childish nature of the GA and the fact that the main demographic are white hipsters who are most likely in debt for their education and the prime reason the first "demand" was forgiveness from school debt. Good luck with your delusion, i'm sure the 420 will make it even more real.
