WSO Monkey at OWS Videos
Last week we sent our very own mascot out to OWS to charm the crowd, pass out some bananas, engage in some conversation and spread the message: "Wall Street Monkeys are not part of the 1%"
Best videos of the bunch are below, and if you haven't seen the photos yet, see the album on our Facebook page or our Flickr Page.
Here's my personal fav, our monkey man dancing along to the sounds of OWS
Intro
McDonalds
"The rise of the Wall Street Apes...........Damn you!!"
Discussion with OWS
More discussion with OWS
Charming the crowd
Bananas for the hippies
Banana for the whippersnapper
Banana for the hipster
Bananas for the elders
"He's an anarchist not a Marxist.... NO I'm a monkeyist!"
Final words from our monkey man
Mod Note (Andy): #TBT Throwback Thursday - this was originally posted on 11/16/11. I was talking with my brother the other day about this (he took the videos/photos for it) and I thought "yeah I should put that post back up!"
I only watched the first one but it's already a huge win.
Thats history being made right there.
some classic lines...
"What do you get when you take the K out of monkey? MONEY!"
Just out of pure curiosity, did you see any increase in traffic after the monkey campain?
I think the idea is quite cool, it would be nice to know if such guerilla marketing techniques work.
I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE
he looks like ben affleck's retarded little brother. fuck you mom and dad.
Give me a break… This is embarrassing. Isn’t this website here for people who want to make a living off of Wall Street? Take that ridiculous monkey suit off and stop encouraging the rapists.

Really, live a little. This is the type of shit that get written about. Thumbs DOWN dude, downtown: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8z7mNSOdWs0/TCL9BrRav0I/AAAAAAAAASs/57WxFrh95…
Patrick, where on earth did you find this guy? He's a natural! Some much-needed positive representation of Wall Street!
^^^ yeah our monkey guys is awesome, he was born to be a WSO monkey mascot!
From my brother who was the photographer for the project:
"Micheal did great! He really was a natural and played the role very very well. Was charming and captivating and represented WSO very very well! Nicely done."
AndyLouis you should make this into an internship in exchange for a prize (e.g. Access to video library, free WSP course, etc). It would be funny although IDK if this experience would count for much in an interview.
haha it would be fun to do something like this again. Maybe we send him in into one of the upcoming marches?
The monkey guy writes me every so often to see if there are any gigs we need help with (he came to a couple of our conferences in addition to the OWS event).
We do still have the monkey suit i think... (WallStreetOasis.com ?), we had some campus reps offer to wear it around campus supporting WSO but was too much of a hassle to send the costume around.
