Intentionally or otherwise.

Some of my most vocal Facebook friends who have been trying to publicize and provide coverage and links about the Occupy movement have also been posting links to things like occupy sesame street or occupy jump street or whatever. I don't remember ever seeing the tea party having that same type of self mockery present.
This is what is so scary about the Occupiers for those in power - their youth! They're going to be around for a whole lot longer than the Tea Partiers.
