Occupy Water Valley Marks 100th Miserable Day with Pleadings for Food<\/h1>\n

\nOxford, Miss (WTF) –<\/strong> On its 100th pathetic day of existence, Occupy Water Valley<\/strong> participants held hands, sang protest songs and begged practially anyone within shouting distance for something edible.<\/p>\n

Both protestors gathered in front of the Water Valley Chamber of Commerce<\/strong> and held posters which read, “We R the 99” and “Give Me My Minimum Wage Job Back.” One protestor was putting the finishing touches on their newest sign, “Also, We’ll Take Bread, Too.”<\/p>\n

The mayor of Water Valley declined to comment, however, other citizens took the opportunity to openly vent about the situation.<\/p>\n

“For weeks, they’ve stood around screaming about corporate greed and entitlements. Now, they keep pestering me about leftovers. I’ve got mouths to feed, darnit, ‘” said Danny Slaughter<\/strong>, 32. “One of the guys even admitted he’d take a Big Mac at this point. Isn’t a Big Mac one of the 1%?”<\/p>\n

The protestors have thus far failed to agree on what they demand from the city, though food is a major concern. They plan to continue marching until justice is served, or they die from starvation.<\/p>\n
