The cookie monster sign is as good as it gets; I’ve had that on my facebook pages for days now, never gets old. (I find it especially pathetic that many people in this thread have taken the OP’s request seriously, though.) ---

Hey, I’d like a serious message rendered humorously. I am not an Occupy Wall St scorner. I do think that they are scattered and unfocused which leads to easy joke pickins.
