@OccupySesameSrt. The Muppets Occupy Sesame Street. The Occupy Wall Street movement has been spreading across the United States for the last month. Starting in New York City’s financial district, the Occupy Wall Street movement has spread to just about every major city in the United States. From Chicago, to Los Angeles, to Houston, and now, sadly, to Sesame Street. Yes, the Muppets have decided to Occupy Sesame Street. The perfectly photo-shopped images were created by the website Tauntr to help get kids interested in the movement. I mean, who cares if a hippy gets maced? Tauntr writes: “Occupy Wall Street is a major movement both on the streets and on the web, but it isn’t getting the media attention it deserves.

If you want to keep up with the Occupy Sesame Street movement you can follow the Twitter hashtag #OccupySesameStreet. Comedian @pattonoswalt tweeted “The counting vampires are destroying America!” @michaelkbusch, wrote: “Truly outrageous that 99% of the cookies are consumed by 1% of the monsters on PBS.” Occupy Sesame Street Goes Viral. O is for... occupation? Occupy Wall Street has spread to more than 25 cities nationwide, and one of those is inhabited by a big yellow bird. Say hello to the latest internet meme: #OccupySesameStreet. According to Mother Jones, the movement began with a tweet by Brooklyn-based design studio, Demo. The tweet linked to a photo of Kermit the frog, urging the masses to "Skip Class! " because "Radiohead is here dawg! " Occupy Sesame Street got a big push from music producer and graphic designer Michael Lasday, 29, who created a Facebook page that so far has been "liked" by 24,994 people and "talked about" by 32,828.

"I thought it would be fun to give people a place on one end to make fun of the movement and on the other end to support it," said Lasday, who attended an Occupy Philly demonstration. The hashtag has been tweeted by everyone from Daily Caller reporters to comedians to Booker Prize winner Salman Rushdie. And people aren't just expressing themselves in 120 character tweets.

About 20 students Sunday night launched “Occupy the Facts,” a nascent student organization hoping to combat charges that protestors in the Occupy movement are uninformed about public policy issues. The organization seeks to conduct important policy research and make their findings accessible to Occupy protesters and the public. The group will spend the next three weeks developing information packages.

“I want to see if we [can] create something that could research public policy surrounding the occupiers’ demands,” said Peter D. Davis ’12, one of the project facilitators. “We want to be able to create fact sheets.” One of the projects’ goals is to eventually transform their policy findings into various formats, including educational YouTube videos and info-graphics. Davis said that the inspiration for “Occupy the Facts” is the potential for Occupy to affect social change.
