Jay-Z sells Occupy Wall Street gear, keeps profits

Hip hop and clothing mogul Jay-Z has launched a new line of Occupy Wall Street gear, but controversially, the proceeds from the clothing will not benefit the movement itself. The clothing company made this statement:

The 'Occupy All Streets' T shirt was created in support of the 'Occupy Wall Street' movement. Rocawear strongly encourages all forms of constructive expression, whether it be artistic, political or social. 'Occupy All Streets' is our way of reminding people that there is change to be made everywhere, not just on Wall Street. At this time we have not made an official commitment to monetarily support the movement.

Patrick Bruner, a spokesman for OWS noted:

Naturally there will be some bloodsuckers who come out of the woodwork. We have a screen-printers guild on camp, and it's easy to find many other T-shirts that actually benefit the cause. In regards to the question, a much better way to show your support for #ows would be to show up and participate in this momentous occasion and help to shape a new and better future
