I wonder how many got right answers and were edited out... I liked "It was Greenberg, now I don't know". Yeah "-berg" sounds like a plausibly Jewish end to a name, must have been that.

I laughed so hard at that...

gotta give the black guy credit though, its not easy to answer questions asked my some random guy on the street with a video camera in your face...especially if youre holding a giant cardboard sign above your head the whole time

not gonna lie I probably wouldnt know who elizabeth warren was if I didnt live in massachusetts..the other two questions were easy though and I assume are pretty basic knowledge among most people

yeah im not really sure what this is supposed to mean.. if you ever come across a movement or group with more than 50 participants from which you CAN'T find at least a handful of ignorant people, let me know, i'd be happy to see it

(sorry for double post) im not about to go out there and protest, but i do hate that a movement that im pretty sure started because people were pissed at the shadiness on wall street (pretty hard to defend, even if for some reason youre under the impression that you are part of the 1% cause youre well off) has gotten diluted with people protesting for this and that and another thing that understandably look weak when represented as the main causes

I love how ows has turned into a giant rant. Don't these people have lives to attend(jobs, families, and school)? Also, if you are truly passionate about a movement shouldn't you know the basics of it? How the hell do you go to NY to whine about how unfair our economy is and not know who Bernanke is? This just makes America look silly.

that's why the 'talking to americans' skits didn't really have much credibility in my eyes.
