It’s weird protesting on Bay Street. You get there at 9 a.m. and the rich bankers who you want to hurl insults at and change their worldview have been at work for two hours already.

Pretty amusing, right?
Except for the fact that "Jeremy" was the creation of satirist Mark Schatzker, of Toronto's Globe and Mail newspaper. His piece then went viral among conservative websites, who seemed oblivious to the fact that it was satire, and made "Jeremy" a symbol for OWS laziness.
