This is coming from the guy who used to host a show that featured big-breasted women jumping on a trampoline.

Adam Carolla opened up his big mouth and shared his opinion on the Occupy Wall Street protestors calling them "a bunch of f-cking self-entitled monsters."

During his little rant, Adam said:

"There's something that's come up in this country that didn't used to exist. And that's envy. We're now dealing with the first wave of participation-trophy, empowered, I feel so good about myself, everybody's a winner, there's no losers … that's who we're dealing with now.

"What we created is a bunch of f-cking self-entitled monsters. People are so far out of it in what they expect and what they think realistic is and the set of rules that pertains to them versus the other guys."

It's easy to generalize an entire movement, but we have to wonder if Adam knows exactly what the OWS protestors are fighting for?

He might want to do some research before he speaks up again.

We can't even begin to tell how absolutely disgusting and infuriating it is to see this kind of flagrant abuse of power.

Watch this truly disturbing video (above) from University of California Davis yesterday, which features police not only tearing down the tents of students partaking in the Occupy movement, but also Police Lt. John Pike walking down a line of students seated on the ground in an act of NONVIOLENT civil disobedience and - we can't even believe this actually happened - SPRAYING THEM DIRECTLY IN THE FACE WITH PEPPER SPRAY, which left at least one woman hospitalized with chemical burns.

WARNING: THIS IS VERY DIFFICULT TO WATCH.

There's no other way to describe this as anything other than police brutality.

And our country is far worse off than we could have ever imagined if this sort of behavior is allowed and ENCOURAGED by our government.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of those young people who bravely and unrelentingly faced this abuse, and everyone who stood by, documented it, and said what we wish we had been there to say ourselves:

SHAME ON YOU.

Some protestors wanted their voice heard Thursday when Michele Bachmann tried to give a foreign policy speech aboard the USS Yorktown.

When she began her speech, they interrupted the great political mind of our generation by chanting:

Jon Stewart really gets it like no other!

Check out his opening monologue from last night's The Daily Show, during which he scolds the Occupy Oakland protesters who recently vandalized a Whole Foods store (above)!

"Use your words!" Exactly!

Insightful and HIGHlarious take down, as always, Sir!

Now why isn't he running for President again?

LOLz!

It looks like Vivienne Westwood isn't a huge fan of capitalism ("corporatism") gone awry, either!

She visited the protestors at St. Paul's Cathedral last night around 8pm and stayed for hours, pledging her support.

Naomi Colvin, spokeswoman for OccupyLSX, said Vivienne is just one of the many celebrities to lend their support to the movement, concluding:

Vivienne Westwood is a great British icon and it's brilliant that she wants to contribute.

It's always refreshing seeing a celebrity get involved!

The situation is just getting worse and worse for both protestors and residents in New York.

The quality of life for the Occupy Wall Street protestors have been drastically declining, with residents claiming that they are living on urine-filled streets and have even gone so far as "defecating on our doorsteps," according to one neighbor.

They are also disturbing residents with

Looks like Susan's too busy with other things to apologize for that anti-Pope comment…

Last we heard about Susan Sarandon's involvement with Occupy Wall Street, she had visited protestors at Zuccotti Park and she told them that their actions are "very constructive." She also wished them the best with their fight.

Now, Susan is getting more involved with the cause, and she was seen with protestors who were picketing during a union labor dispute against Sotheby's in NYC yesterday (above).

Stay safe, Susan!
