For those who are curious, the organization collecting and distributing suits to protesters is called the Proper Business Attire Working Group. The suits were apparently given out on Oct. 15, the big global protest day. They have a nice little video montage on their site of well-dressed activists throughout history. I applaud any protester who shows up for #OWS, but I agree that it's more effective to look dignified, especially in the current Big Dumb Cable News Era. (You'd think, given their track record, that bald guys in suits would no longer be taken seriously, but alas, they still are.)
While checking out the Hermès website, I came across -- I kid you not -- a $1,400 leather iPad holder. When you really need that extra-special way to say "I am the 1%."
