Given all the debate lately about financial greed and corporate corruption, it's no surprise that protesters aren't giving much thought to shopping for clothing. But according to one blogger, maybe they should.
A Reddit commenter wrote:
Guys, listen. Here's the deal. I love you guys with every shred of my hard-left leaning heart. But I think you might be doing something wrong. Here is one thing that can help you. Tomorrow, wear a polo and khakis. Seriously. polos and khakis. Every time you guys DO finally get some press, it's a scrawny dude with dreads in a ratty t-shirt. You're going big here, dress it. Tomorrow, Polo shirt and Khakis.
Why? Because you need to get the right-leaning equivalent of me on your side. I'm 35 right now. I understand where the hippy thing comes from. I get it as well as a guy who's 35 can. My Counterparts do not. They think you are scummy druggies on welfare and when they see on tv a bunch of people who they think are S.D's on W, they root for the cops to hit you again.
Do you the commenter has a point? Does appearance have anything to do with messaging? Or do you think protesters should ignore this suggestion altogether and save their brainpower for storming Wall Street?
