In “Occupy Christmas: What protesters could learn from the true meaning of the holidays,” Jef Otte explained how the Grinch was about to steal Christmas from the 99 percent — unless they had secured a nice temporary job in some retail establishment, so that they could give nice presents to their children, like the 1 percent does, but not quite as good.
And then he concluded with this:
Because it’s not just rich people’s job to buy products. It’s our job, too. That’s the reason for the season.
But Guest didn’t appreciate the joke:
When news happens, Westword is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $50,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community. If Westword matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Hint: if you have to explain the joke….it’s not a joke. Now, your writing career… that’s a joke. Toodles.
Did the Grinch steal Jef Otte’s writing abilities? Or is Guest just in the 1 percent that will never get the joke? Feel free to post your comments below.
