Five Stars For Irony: Walmart Sells Occupy Poster, Say What?

It Takes A Lot To Laugh It Takes A Train To Cry Dept: In this season of grace and joy, buy a poster of the OWS encampment at Zuccotti Park for your loved ones at Walmart, that bastion of populism (except when it‘s „bleeding communities dry“ as a case study in our nation’s growing inequality) for just $42.75 or $52.25, „printed on Premium Heavy Stock Paper which captures all of the vivid colors and details of the original… ready for hanging or framing.” No wait. The small one has sold out. Hmm: sold out. Sigh. They sell an Occupy book too. And adding insult to gross capitalistic injury, the picture‘s terrible. Here are some better ones, and here‘s what you can buy instead.
