Funny seeing all the promoted tweet ads in the #WalmartStrikers TL. Nothing says "Power to the people" like a new MasterCard.

Hey, even Occu-twits need credit cards to buy new tech gear from Big Business so they can tweet the revolution. Or something.

Here's one of the icky capitalist ads that popped up in our #WalmartStrikers feed today.

This promoted tweet seems especially appropriate:

Don't come home without Beggin' Strips. REPEAT: Don't come home without Beggin' Strips! #BlackFriday http://t.co/Rdxv8mMZ0o- Beggin' Strips (@Beggin) November 29, 2013

Beggin' Strips? Perfect! [Update: That one is so perfect we're adding a screenshot of the promoted tweet. Some things just need to be preserved in all their glory.]

But this is the one that's likely to really grind the Walmart-bashers' gears:

Not sure where to go when you get to the store? Check the #BlackFriday store map for directions! http://t.co/TyqadBnrhR- Walmart Newsroom (@WalmartNewsroom) November 29, 2013

Predictable reaction:

Hey @ WalmartNewsroom I don't like your ads popping up in my feed. Why don't you start paying your workers a living wage? #WalmartStrikers- Troy Williams (@TroyWilliamsSLC) November 29, 2013

Waaaahhhhh!
