GET HIM! GET ALEC BALDWIN! Hahaha. Ugh. This fucking video. I thought it was called Occupy Wall Street, not Occupy The Dormitory Courtyard. This is some straight up college freshman bullshit. “They’re out of chocolate milk, so now all I have to drink is orange juice, regular milk, orange soda, cola, root beer, Sprite, and water. Let’s go outside and smoke Djarums and shout!” Congratulations to this dude for majoring in History of the Fed, but also you demand that Alec Baldwin to deliver an endorsement of Ron Paul? WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT? It is also very intense how Alec Baldwin makes some pretty level-headed and rational arguments about how we need and should seek change but that we do not need to start abolishing integral pieces of the system left and right without an understandable plan for the post-abolishment future and one that seeks to maintain a healthy and supportable goverment, and this kid is just like “Well you saw what happened to Abraham Lincoln when they started printing the greenbacks.” Motherfucker, SIT DOWN. This would never happen to Rob Dyrdek. Christopher “Big Black” Boykin would just shove this clown right in his clown face. Seriously, though, what is happening in this video? I am going on and on about it because I am trying to figure it out but I am too stupid to do it. Are we against Alec Baldwin now? Did Alec Baldwin create capitalism and is he also in charge of Citigroup? Let me know. If that’s the case I’ll unfollow him on Twitter. #OccupyYourBed #OccupyGoToBed (Via GotchaMedia.)

Jack Donaghy would be so disappointed.
There’s nothing more American than having very strong opinions about things you don’t entirely understand. Love it or leave it, Baldwin!
America: Constantly in their freshman year of college.
We’re constantly talking about shit we just learned in a survey course.
I don’t exactly get your joke, but it’s SO FUNNY!
I heard someone quoted on the radio regarding Occupy Chicago say something along the lines of – Our goals might not be clear now, but what matters is that we have the numbers/have a lot of people.
Really? So, you have a lot of people protesting different or non existent goals? Sounds very productive.
I really hope I misunderstood the quote since I haven’t been following any of the Occupy ______. I fully admit to being ignorant to all of this.
oh man, i dont want to out myself as a crazy anarcho anti-capitalist weirdo (haha, just kidding, i know all of you know that i am a crazy anarcho anti-capitalist!) but- i will just say that it takes a long time and a lot of effort to develop clear, concise goals out of a nascent ideology, especially when a fundamental undercurrent of the ideology is that the governing system and the market system has giant gaping exploitative flaws- so it’s like, how do you build a set of demands for a system that you inherently find unjust. it’s very hard! and it’s also difficult when the people assembling come from very different niches within the large leftist community. i actually find it a lot more refreshing that it’s a little open at the moment, since i’m personally tired of the mechanistic protest movements in this country and it’s equally pathetic vote-for-change crap that doesn’t ever pan out. so to me, i don’t actually see this as a protest movement, but a space for wider political discourse that is more radical than is conventionally accepted.
i haven’t logged in in months, but i wanted to say i appreciated this comment. tbh, i’m kind of surprised that the v for vgum community is generally skeptical of OWS, and skeptical of people criticizing capitalism.
also, alec baldwin’s predictable love of capitalism…? (b/c, like steve jobs, we all have a fair shot at makin it big! what?)
I’m litterally laughing out loud at my desk simply at the fact that Alec Baldwin is wandering through a crowd of people sweeping up little piles of trash with his body guard. He’s like, “I’m sorry, I’m not here to answer questions. Please, excuse me while I sweep up this candy wrapper. What’s that? The fed? Oh, I know what the fed is and I’m aware of Ron Paul. He’s a nice enough guy, but if you’ll just move over a little I could reach that empty coffee cup and be on my way. Thanks guys, don’t stay up too late tonight.”
he’s there because Mitch & Murray asked him to.
So glad Videogum has an Alan Greenspan tag. Makes finding my Greenspan trampoline accident news so much easier!
Because Capitalism
I got so excited for a Rob Dyrdek reference.
favorite part is the guy mentioning his talk with [probably] stephen baldwin…this guy has had conversations about the Fed with TWO baldwin brothers! what on earth could he possibly want to protest?! I’ve only had a brief exchange in a grocery store with Daniel Baldwin about sharp cheddar cheese and you don’t see me out calling for the end of farm subsidies.
Always
Be
Capitalist
I went into this site because I couldn’t understand what this guy was trying to say… and now I know. 9/11 was an inside job. Sarah Palin says it should be investigated. Thanks buddy.
Also you can vote for him to harass more celebrities.
Gabe, you left out the part where you put the orange juice, regular milk, orange soda, cola, root beer, Sprite, and water in tiny glasses and balance them on your tray because the glasses in the dining hall are so small!
I personally wish he’d occupy 30 Rock more and stay out of politics, but he’s earned a laurel, and hearty handshake for the trash-picking effort, and deft deflection of stupid questions.
Is that a deliberate Laurel and Hardy reference? If so, why?
What does Arec Bawdwin have against England?
