It's time to have a laugh and who better to have one against than Goldman Sachs. So here is a protest against Goldman Sachs that is very relevant:
Muppets Protest at Goldman Sachs

Event Summary:
A police van filled with officers parked across the street from our
staging area and waited for us to depart. As we did, officers on foot
walked with us, but across the street. When construction caused us to
change our route, I approached an officer and asked the best way to go.
From that point on, they functioned as a police escort. When we hit West
Street, which is a highway with heavy traffic, the police van, with
lights flashing, stopped the traffic for us. We entered the bicycle lane
and it was a clear shot down to the Goldman Sachs office at 200 West
Street. The police van, with flashing lights, accompanied us the entire
way. They were amazingly coordinated, without every having talked with
us.
The police presence grew as we approached Goldman Sachs. When we got
there, there were at least 20 more officers, plus a full fleet of
Goldman Sachs security guards lined up at the door. It was quite
impressive. The fox is safe in the chicken coop. He has employed the
uniformed chickens to protect him. I was personally greeted by the “hipster cop,” Community Affairs Detective Rick Lee.
Tactically, we kept moving and obeyed all the traffic and bicycle
laws. We made a continuous loop in front of the building, with the
muppets singing and dancing the Mobile Homeless Blues, an original song created for the event by the Fresh Juice Party
band. Having made our point, we then marched through downtown
Manhattan, visiting Zuccotti Park, Washington Square Park and Union
Square. The reactions we encountered from people along the route, was
encouraging and very touching.
As soon as we left Goldman Sachs, the police presence melted away.
The police were only concerned with protecting the power center, the
white collar criminals with blood on their hands, who have exploited the
public. The bankers, who control the politicians, will continue to get
away with their crimes against society until we, the people, make
stronger demands. Let’s keep the pressure on. Fight for awareness and
for change with creativity and humor.
