Do you think OWS can be demoralized by paid shills?
Someone I know was just banned from a website called 'god like productions'. I'd never heard of it before. Out of curiousity I took a look. Nothing god like there. First thing I saw was this listing...

Create The Best Demoralizing Occupy Wall Street Graphics & Get Paid Up To $500

GLP is hiring!

We're looking for the best demoralizing occupy wall street protester graphics we can get!

Make your point about these lazy hippie communist scum bags that are trying to take down our country!!

BE CREATIVE!!

We will take submissions for the next three days via posts to this thread.

Then I will pick the 6 entries that I like best and do a public poll for 24 hours that will determine the top 3 graphics...

#1 voted graphic design will get $250
#2 voted graphic design will get $150
#3 voted graphic design will get $100

Payment will be made via paypal only. Make sure you submit your graphics under at least a free registered GLP account on the forum so we can contact you if your submission is chosen. If you don't have a paid GLP account you can upload to imageshack or some other image hosting site and submit a link via your free account & maybe some nice paid member will embed it in the thread for you.

Show us what you got bitches~

1. Because God is all about lying, right?
That's why he said... Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor... oh, wait...

2. Remember NBC having to pay off Nebraska Public Television ?
I'm looking forward to seeing what wins and what loses.

Btw: their "God" is down with all this crazy sh*t.

You didn't see the bumper sticker ?

4. Oh, yes!
This is what Jesus wants me to be doing with my life!

Instead of that "Loving God, and your neighbor as yourself" crap that nobody listens to anyway, right? :sarcasm:

5. But, they are sooooo lame at it.
Every time they try to pull something like this, the tech-savvy 99%er's make them look like the liars and scammers that they are, with their phony attempts at grass-roots organizing, and badly-photo-shopped 'supporters'.

7. I've only checked out 3 of their "creations". I think they are a community of 12 year olds.

8. Don't knock the twelve year olds.
The scammers aren't even up to coloring within the borders yet, smart twelve year olds are writing code.

10. Hopefully, as the OWS movement matures, there will be lessons
in emotional detachment that goes along with the teachings of nonviolence. It has to be cultivated
and is actually centered in compassion. It comes from the heart rather than emotions.
