WINNER: Occupy Halloween

Tim C. of Goshen, Ind., was also inspired to scare his neighbors as an "Occupy" protester with a sign reading: "Occupy Halloween. Eat the Rich/Eat more Brains" and "I am the 99% (adults) who don't get candy. Equal Candy for Unequal Work. Candy Corn 4 all."

On behalf of adults everywhere, thank you, Tim, for standing up against the unjust age discrimination in Halloween candy distribution.
