Occupy Portland - DownTwinkles

[TheAuToMaTiC82]

Go Occupy! Down with Corporate greed! these people arent idiots theyre standing up for our rights whether or not you even realize it theyre fighting for you because i bet most of you arent part of the 1%

[Vakisari]

What is funny is all the hicks responding to this guy calling him a pussy or making fun of the Twinkles thing, when if anybody bothered to listen, Google anything, or even understand half of what goes in their ears, they'd know that the Twinkles stuff is from Robert's Rules of Order, a book used by many corporations that essentially just outlines fair ways to conduct business meetings. Written by a Brigadier General 140+ years ago. Excuse the young, lazy, hippies in the video for cooperating.

[breekwhal]

this is so weird.

[mistadobbsalina]

@breekwhal Keep Portland weird!

[breekwhal]

@mistadobbsalina lol! yes i remember seeing that! i used to live near portland. Yea Keep Portland Weird. Goodness. Gotta love originality.

[skudman061]

i was on the same page with protesters at first wen they wanted to stop corperate greed, but wen they started a mob to try to stop me and co workers from going to work i wanted to kick them all in thier vaginas. i work at the port of vancouver and im just a regular guy trying to go to work. just becuause these dumbasses dont have a job DOESNT MEAN THEY CAN KEEP ME FROM GOING TO MINE! FUCK U HIPPIES i hope u like the taste of mace

[monet108]

I hate you people in OWS. You have no idea what damage you are doing to our Country. You have pissed away a movement that we need desperately in this Country.

[maconsumner]

What would we expect from a city that would elect a homosexual pedophile as its mayor? There are a lot of disgraces to our country, but Portland should fall off the map.

[Corvus133]

Sorry, and these people think they have the new aged insight to running a civilization?

Funny, I can't tell if this is a protest or a conjugation of like minded people. Like minded being lazy, hippies, arrogant, young, know it alls, etc. If this is my future and my country goes to war, I may shoot in both directions.

These communists need a lesson in sacrifice.

[Corvus133]

tHe people leading these protests are all the same person. All the same personality. know it alls that don't really know anything, they just sound like they do as demonstrated in this video. Slightly hippy, nose rings, etc.

[TheMeltaDelta]

This guy is totally down with the syndrome.

[rdmb57]

They left out the one about the "itsy bitsy spider"

[heilbeezlebub]

We're doomed.

[ram0166]

My son used to come up with little signals for communicating things rather than speaking. He was four years old.

[apanst]

Pathetic.

[toastycake942]

Very enlightening. Thanks!

[justinhoffma]

Man, if these morons had a clue they'd be protesting themselves. You wanna know what's wrong with America? You useless, entitled, insolent, lazy, burnouts.

Why do you hippies EARN something instead of mooch off of producers like your parents.

[nuggz503]

What the fuck? How about a simple thumbs up or a middle finger? Best thing about last Saturday night was the short line at voodoos.. HA. Im all for bringing down the establishment, but for fuck sake.

[maconsumner]

Gee, I am so glad that we have the artsy Berkeley crowd around. They insure that there is a use for all those pesky drugs around. I would say this guy has done more than his share. Isn’t he sweet, in a girly bitch way?

[blahblahblah8017]

@vovlospd dude. not cool.

[vovlospd74]

If ows starts burning shit down town then the 99% of people who are against them will show up to stop you. If the cops can't stop you I will try. Fuck off and hang your self before its to late. Can't wait to start beating some hippies. You brought it on your self

[LynnwoodMadMan]

@vovlospd74 - These kids are soft as shite. If they resort to violence, their little game will come to an end very quickly. 

[MadMonique]

Mercy, evidently so many male commenters are seriously threatened by what? Mere hand gestures? I have rarely read such homophobic stuff. What's the real problem fellahs?

[goawaiii]

what the fuck is this

[jmn120176]

MIC CHECK!

[BrianMChampion]

James Madison vs Twinkles. I choose James Madison.

Still don't like big banks? Don't like big government? Read what Andrew Jackson did for the little guy against Nicholas Biddle and the Second Bank of the United States, and with Henry Clay and the Whigs, if you want a model.

[nougat98]

I am making a jerk-off motion with my hand b/c this stuff is just a bunch of horsecrap.

[nrabenefactor1]

They couldn't have picked anything gayer than "twinkles." Do they get them from the Twinkle Fairy?

[NvHessler]

verbal language was built from body language, what you homophobic folks should do is try an upward " twinkle " if it feels like a positive hand signal then you may understand why it is used instead of clapping which is disruptive when some one is speaking to a large crowd without a mic.

[leftgibson]

This asshole need to shove both fists up his gaping and anus and give himself a 20 min. down twinkle!

[12Jeffries]

And these people want to reform society? They can't even come up with a method of voting that isn't ridiculous and laughable. Twinkles!? How about you just raise your hand if you agree! Or is raising one's hand to to identifiable the evil patriarchal/white male blah blah blah..These people are the worst.

[leftgibson]

OK I am officially calling these twinks a cult. This is the gayest thing I have ever seen. How long till they drink the Cyanide Kool Aid! Hurry the fuck up!

[chums101]

I give twinkles to pizza hut commercials when they announce the any pizza for $10 deal

[thebobhollyband]

For those of you who have major social anxiety, and don't get out much, this is how you communicate in a large crowd. I have social anxiety sometimes, so no hate. You would just have to be down there to understand it all.

[thebobhollyband]

You can't put out a fire with gas.

[GotPsi1111]

The founding Fathers wanted a Republic not a Democracy... do a search on why "America is not a Democracy "on You Tube... I support Occupy... but I don't support them being uninformed. ... because in the end... no leadership, no agenda... is just anarchy and it turns into pointless violence. Be smart, get informed... we are not a Democracy... 

[engnbldr]

K...I get it. Too many twinkles, that's what is wrong.

[unionjack72]

GET A JOB HIPPY

[supressorgrid]

No fingers, no vote? this system of governance is discriminatory against those who are digitally challenged. And what about the toe vote. I got it. Get all involved into a sealed room with a barometer. vote according to inhalers vs. exhalers and determine issues by the swing of the barometer dial or untill all the air in the room is used up.

[MrPrinceOFpa]

u guys r a bunch of idiots

[TommyD2343]

I like the Occupy movement as a whole, but twinkles? C'mon, guys, that's embarrassing.

[canofsand]

@TommyD2343 If you think "twinkles" is anywhere near the top of the list of embarrassing things about Occupy Whatever, you're living under a rock. Maybe you get your news about the movement from the useful idiots in the movement themselves, or from the agitprop media. The entire movement is at its core an embarrassment at best.

[bmathers21]

This is so fucking gay. Let's just riot.... tonight we will. Fuck this homo sign language guy.

[TalkingFrog]

Just when you think these lunatics cannot get any dumber, you get Twinkles.

Did we raise a generation of idiots? Or is this just evidence that there will always be a tiny percent of mentally disabled in our society?

[duanescot]

@TalkingFrog the problem is that its not a tiny percent, its a large percent of generation Xers (my gen) and down, I find it horrifying that these limp wristed spinless gimps are now the majority, it spells certain doom for Americas future, death by douchebags, that about sums it up

[NewDivineWind]

This makes me feel bad I live in Portland. At least I don't live on this side.

[antidoteco]

the Portland Gayor needs to stop sending policemen to do a garbage mans job and get that TRASH out of our public parks !

[oskikevin]

People don't give a shit, brah. Go hit the bong and throw on a Phish record. You'll be more productive doing that.

[Fishfinger223]

Spirit fingers

[24xEBK]

fuckin hippies make me sick. where is eric cartman when u need him. If he found out about OWS he would flip a bitch

[Realdrummerdan1]

Get a job you crackhead hippie raver bums. You're not getting anything done except for spreading disease and taking shits all over that park you're "occupying".

[wittgenstein83]

@OccupyPDX would you please comment on your stance towards the Israeli/Palestinean conflict, and the Gaza flotilla? I'm talking about the Gaza flotilla PR flip flop from OWS over the weekend.

[THEBEASTPAGES]

Occutards, gotta love em. For a good laugh.

[BennyB5555]

Get a job and stop spending your time learning hand signals that nobody cares about! Spend your time maybe learning Sign Language and possibly make a difference where that irritating voice isn't needed to convey your point - please!?

I have no sympathy for people who refuse to try and help themselves. This is called thinning out the heard!

[metzindustries]

down twinkles!!! down twinkles!!! down twinkles!!! down twinkles!!!

abajo brilla! abajo brilla! abajo brilla! abajo brilla!

bas scintille! bas scintille! bas scintille! bas scintille!

上下闪烁！上下闪烁！上下闪烁！上下闪烁！

اللمعة أسفل! اللمعة أسفل! اللمعة أسفل! اللمعة أسفل!

вниз мерцает! вниз мерцает! вниз мерцает! вниз мерцает!

twinkles नीचे! twinkles नीचे! twinkles नीचे! twinkles नीचे!

twinkles نیچے! twinkles نیچے! twinkles نیچے! twinkles نیچے!

[MrSilkman18]

there all liberal idiots. there basically saying "stop being greedy, so give me all your money."

[mistadobbsalina]

@MrSilkman18 It's "they're," not "there"... You should learn to use apostrophes, it'll help out your argument a lot more if you choose to utilize proper grammar in your statements. Not everyone in Occupy is liberal & no one is saying "give me all your money."

[boogysplit]

I swear one of those was the universal signal for "Vagina".

[duanescot]

I know its hard to believe but yes, these people are serious. Check agenda 21 and what it says about concensus and you will never see OWS the same way again

[timeallows]

Too many white kids-this is the problem.

[HooverNtrout]

LOL at OccuPods- Plaid Pantry on E Burnside had a sign hiring people with living wages, 401k and Health care. Also, go further down MLK, the gas station near Powell is also hiring. I am unsure how you cannot find a job in this country. They both require drug tests. Is this why? Or are your tastes more "superior" and you simply DEMAND a job with dignity? Well guess what jack, sour grapes! Ask any immigrant to the US, if you cannot find work in the US, the problem probably you!

[popdani]

Dirty hippies! :-D

[wonggongs]

clearly none of you understand how capitalism exploits people and are all fucking stupid, but this guy is also a piece of shit faggot and this is the gayest thing ive ever seen

[RogerOnTheRight]

Agreeance? Is that even a word?

[zekehooper]

I thought the triangle ment pussy?

[puntme]

I gave this video 'down twinkles' ;)

[CmonMan101]

America has raised too many girlie men.

Some parents need some serious slapping.

[JakikoChan]

@CmonMan101

There can never be too many girlie men <3

[sepptonia]

What is the hand signal for "I'm a faggit with the G/A/I/D/S"?

Oh wait, its all of them.

[hiChristianGilfoy]

oh no! my world is going to collapse because of an unconventional voting method!

[terryweb]

I know one that says F - U and I didn't have to be part of any occupy cult movement to learn it.

[randyreef]

And this is what you get with Liberal schools. Regressing back to childhood

[teknomage2012]

In support of Occupy Portland (Wall Street) whole neighborhoods are springing up who have put tents up on there front lawns today! Spread the news, put up a tent, show solidarity!

[duanescot]

holy fuck, once other countries realized that the majority of American men have been emasculated like little mister twinkles here, im SURE were going to get invaded and taken over!!

[PHAEDRIDER]

@duanescot no we wont.. other countries will know that we want to be a gentle and peaceful people that means them no harm , and then they will back off because they dont have to defend themselves from the U.S. and go back to the prosperous people they were before they were exploited by the united states of america.......................­............;) oh by the way i'm working on my phd in sarcasm.....i just wish i knew how to express it with my keyboard..

[Mitchigan14]

fuckin turning portland into district 9

[steve2071]

Where's the "down twinkles" button on here?

[foxop]

we need chappelle's wrap it up box here.

"Yo, Wrap it up B!"

[sedative3145]

Is this guy for real?! What a faggot.

[RB2G100]

This faggit likes it up the ass apparently. I won't if his mom love to suck dick. I think she will slobber all over my huge cock. So nvm

[Parralyzed]

lol @ all the raging rednecks here

[antidoteco]

wow - I bet that crowd smells real nice...like real nice SHIT

[Technoid52]

How about put both wrists forward signal for the hand cuffs that will be on all you anti constitution idiots

[silencedchylde]

... I wonder if this guy has any idea... ANY... How stupid he sounds and looks. Twinkles? Really? Genius.

"Raise the Roof".. How original.

[sohc287]

Nuke Portland.

[jasonc32amg]

I'd like to go GTA on this guy with a bat to the head.

[NathanDahlin]

I understand why people "dislike" this video, but still...no one else appreciates how hilarious it is?

(If unintentionally so.)

[wwwE5150com]

Down twinkles all around.

[KittKattKlub]

(doing left hand signal for snipping fingers - as in scissors) Forced sterilization anyone? (doing right hand signal for capital "L" for loser)

[lakewood78]

Holy Crap! This sounds like something they might have learned in kindergarten. Is this the result of 13 - 17 years of "progressive" indoctrination, socialization and "education" inside the fenced-in government compounds euphemistically refered to as "schools"? They sound like confused children, terrified of the idea of living in a society where free people can go around doing whatever they want. Big downward twinkle on this!

[Inquisitor53]

@lakewood78 Yes it is and yes they are! They are the clueless who make up 99% of the occupying trespassers/instigators. They're too nieve to research where the money's coming from to support their "cause" or who their puppet masters are but those who have wisdom know where this is going and it doesn't favor anybody except the 1% who instigated this situation in an attempt to ruin the banking system. Wasn't it Eric Holder who said, "Always take advantage of a bad situation!"? Ignorance is costly.

[beardedoneder]

Three primary ways to affect reform: (1) Accumulate numbers for pressure groups to influence office holders. (2) Accumulate numbers to put a candidate into office. (3) non-violent revolution à la Ghandi and King ). (4) Violent revolution à la the Russian, Chinese, French, or American Revolutions. It's not yet clear to me which direction this is heading in.

[GimpSuit99]

Beyond pathetic. It is a large, collective pantomime of power and relevance. Sooooo sad.

[gcxred4kat9]

Too bad we can't just take all these losers out since they're all conveniently concentrated in one space! How much money would that save the country, cuz I'm sure they're all on unemployment and welfare. Would keep them from procreating and producing more govt/taxpayer dependents. Fuckin losers.

[drewbond1]

Watch C-SPAN for 15 minutes, they might be on to something.

[Brainstrain]

Could this have more response shots

[orange343434]

How typical that the right-wingers here are disparaging the people protesting Wall St's concentration of financial and political power (which is responsible for our recent economic crash). And ya, they look really violent LOL.

I know it's cliche to say how some people are brainwashed, but sheesh!

[MrGeltabs]

@orange343434 just to make things even... See I was all for this protesting at 1st... But how can this keep going on, when the people backing the protesters also backed Obama's campaign???? It's like a conflict of interest, U don't like whats going on in the country, yet 50% of the protesters or more voted for obama. So it's like "we voted for this guy, we don't like him now so lets go out and protest, but when he runs for election again we will vote for him" you see the goofyness?

[chopinbloc]

@MrGeltabs I get what you're saying but 50%? Really? I challenge you to find one single person in any of those mobs that voted for McCain. A few Paulbots, maybe, but pretty close to pure Obongo acolytes.

[orange343434]

@MrGeltabs Late in reply, but this protest simply has nothing to do with supporting Obama. In fact has nothing really to do with Obama, and most are actually very angry with him being another Wall St. lackey. Yeah, a lot of OWS protesteres might vote for Obama as a lesser of two evils thing, but that has nothing to do with why they're protesting.

Sad that more people don't understand the political power Wall St. and other mega-corporations have. Most comments here are scary and ignorant.

[MarkGauvreau]

When Chris Matthews visits: Tingles Twinkles.

[myrcavich]

Completely laughable and idiotic.

Can I get an "up twinkles" ?

[supratt93]

i cant wait for them to start the violence, i have thousands upon thousands of rounds with these hippie shit stains name on them.

[MrSGL21]

@supratt93 You realize not one of these Eugene rejects can piss clean right?

[chopinbloc]

@supratt93 That's funny. Most of mine are addressed: "To whom it may concern."

It will be an epic bucket of fail and AIDS if they ever make good on their promises of violent insurrection.

[intheblue25]

i feel dumber now for having watched this, and i want that 101 seconds back.

[myaim07]

Wow! What a well educated, intelligent fellow. Almost as smart as my dog...

So when they were going over their well thought out, realistic demands, the crowd gave the twinkles up sign?

[billbobjamesfred]

Hickory shampoo. Whats it for and do you need it.

[jdarens]

OMG, twinkles!

[13bfc3s]

not sure if cereal

[Gildog77]

What's the hand signal for "Get a job, douche nozzle!"?

[WallaceUSG]

I'll just make motions, hold discussions, raise my hand if I want to speak, and yell "Point of Order!" when I feel it's necessary thank you very much.

[mwl586]

Whats the hand sign for hickory stix to the head?

[vatrujillo]

Is this an SNL skit?....oh my, and they want people to take them seriously?...chuckling here.

[darrelanderson]

Im making a hand single right now. Do I use one finger on one hand, or one finger on each of my hands?

[4666L]

Thanks for clearing this up for me.

Wast of time.

Down twinkles, OK?

[whitearab2]

i think this video is down twinkles and makes me be ashamed to be a hippie living in portland

[tickticktickBOOOOM]

Surgeon General's Warning: Watching these oxygen thieves has been proven to destroy brain cells.

[jessefry]

See?  I'm giving the basic hand signal "Down Twinkles", see?

[mclaugtj]

You are all morons

[fruitcupproductions]

They make the protesters around the world look bad...

[nmfirepilot]

People with no occupation, should not use the word "occupation". And from looking at these people, I think its safe the say that the reason they are not employed, has nothing to do with bankers and wall street. They would rather blame others, than take a look at themselves and realize they are unemployable.

[AJoeSmith]

@OccupyPDX What camera was used to take this video? It is so clear.

[chopinbloc]

@AJoeSmith I don't know but it was probably manufactured by an evil corporation.

[poam27]

If these guys had occupied a math or science class at some point, they'd be gainfully employed right now.

[zodiacchiller]

Portlandia is such a great show.

[DivineFellowship]

Banking is an ethnic collective.

[Vega4me]

@DivineFellowship...how bout a ethnic collective w/ yo mama?

[DivineFellowship]

@Vega4me -- Sorry I don't know what you mean. My mother passed away long ago.

Here is who runs Wall Street: Know your enemy.

thezog.wordpressDOTcom/who-con­trols-wall-street/

This does not show who OWNS Wall Street and who actually owns the Federal Reserve. That is a small group of intermarried banking families in Europe, with the Rothschilds the most eminent among them.

[900DucatiSS]

I just occupied your momma.

[BageImanman]

lol twinkles.... looks like most of them ate too many twinkies as kids

[halodemo65]

I think they mean to call themselves the 47%, representing 47% of Americans who pay no tax at all. They basically leech off the system, and when they can't get enough, they use the "but there are so many of us" argument.

[nibblerseven]

@halodemo65 Yeah, they actually do pay taxes. They dont pay INCOME tax is what you are talking about, and thats because they are under the legal limit for that. They still pay payroll, sales, and some other state and community taxes. Here, how about we agree on something. Lets have everyone in the country have to pay income tax, as long as we raise the minimum wage to a reasonable amount.

[eatatkcs]

As I walked past Zucotti Park in NYC 3 weeks ago, I saw and heard the protesters....but what REALLTY stuck was the smell. Occupy your showers once & awhile & maybe the world will take you seriously. Is this what living in your mother's basement does to you? The Flea Party has arrived.

[eatatkcs]

Flea Party!

[iamalon]

How long did it take them to make this signals?

[t44e6]

Agreeance? AGREEANCE????? I think the word the dullard was looking for was "agreement".

[twhditto]

I am still laughing! I never saw anything on SNL that funny!!! That guy is stoned out of his mind. LOL... what a piece of work!

[blakendecker]

I'm not a violent person, but if someone were to walk up to this new castrati and slap him one good time I would not be offended.

[v1m]

Q: How can you tell when Portland is occupied?

A: Dude, give up. You can't.

[chopinbloc]

@fazadeset They aren't interested in working; only in taking what others have earned.

[Jimski61]

I have a hand signal. Its my middle finger in the face of these soon to be murdering socialist. Their violence is the next logical step.

[joshuachristner123]

spirit fingers up on this video

[johndodrill]

I have a hand sign for the communist. Here's how it goes: "How many fingers am I holding up?"

Conservatives, please explain that one to the Democrats.

[2002lees]

I'm giving a one fingered upward twinkle to the Occupy whackos right now!!

[PHAEDRIDER]

single finger up !

[BKOLDBULL]

I have nothing but respect for anyone who makes a commitment to a cause and follows through. There will always be criticism to anyone audacious enough to confront the status quo. Change is messy and chaotic in the beginning. This is not class warfare; this is a response to the class war that the ruling class have been waging against everyone else. This is the beginning of a revolution and the bastards are afraid. Power to the people.

[landline00]

This is probably how the Bolsheviks started out. OWS needs to disavow the anti-semites in it's ranks!

[cristabell7]

Ok. Imagine this dude in a police uniform directing traffic on a busy street. Play the song "Crosstown Traffic" by Jimi Hendrix and you have yourself a neat little video to roll on the floor and laugh at for hours. LOL!
