Double UPDATE on the silver spoon rebellion.
The silver spoon revolution at NYU is over. This will go down in the annals of leftwing idiocy as perhaps the lamest protest ever.
UPDATE: They just don’t make radicals the way they used to.
They are crying because they can’t get a pee break. Give me a break children.
But their No. 1 demand was this: “Full legal and disciplinary amnesty for all parties involved in the occupation.”
A cop eyed the crowd and shook his head.
“It’s pathetic,” he said. “These are privileged kids. These kids have silver spoons in their mouths, and their parents send them here – so they can sit in the cafeteria.”
NYU students barricaded inside want more transperancy concerning the school budget.
The group wants 13 scholarships a year provided for students of the Gaza Strip, and to give surplus supplies to the Islamic university in Gaza.

I say let them stay there, just cut off water, power, and food to the building. Then when the little babies come out, expel their butts!

Hey, not a bad idea. These kids are something else. Whatever happened to charity begins at home?

Take Back NYU rocks!
I love those guys! A team of the world’s best comedic screenwriters could not have scripted their pathetic last stand to play out any funnier. Corporate Water???? That’s the most patently bourgeois thing I’ve heard in a long time. Water is bad, Apple is good? Take Back NYU! is going to ruin the Apple brand altogether; Apple is marketed for slackers, NOT hippies.
And why did Take Back! narrow their goals when they were doing so well and capturing the imagination of the worldwide public? Why did they not fight to achieve protection for the Cape Fear River shiner, one of the most endangered fishes in North America? Or fight to replace the hurtful “MILF” genre of adult film with the less judgemental “experienced women” title?
If only they had not been so pragmatic, this really could have been a changed world. . .
