ScarJo on Occupy Wall Street: Try a 'Clearer Message'

Actress Scarlett Johansson, like most of her Hollywood peers, has a soft spot for the Occupy Wall Street movement.

But the actress known in the tabloids as ScarJo isn’t ready to give them a complete pass.

Johansson told Interview Magazine via Politico that she wishes the OWS types would deliver a more refined message:

Johansson said that while “it’s important to shed light on something like that,” she called the [OWS] message “sort of unclear.” “I mean, yes, people are fed up–and I think quite rightfully so. But what are they proposing as an alternative to just being upset or feeling disillusioned or abandoned? That kind of protest movement really needs to happen on a much bigger scale, but there needs to be a clearer message,” said the actress.

Most people find the OWS message crystal clear – down with capitalism and pay my student loans now. But give the actress credit for breaking from the liberal orthodoxy – if only by a few critical degrees.
