Apparently, you are unfamiliar with Ben and Jerry's and for some reason you believe that the OWP's are against all corporations.

How is this hypocrisy? Did Occupy Wall Street ask Ben and Jerry's to support them, or is this unsolicited support?

What is your point...Oh you think protestors are against all companies. I see why you are confused. That is just not true. I am glad we can move on now.

Here is one thing to like about Ben and Jerry's and where you can see the commonalities between Ben and Jerry's and the protestors.

Ben & Jerry’s Foundation. http://www.benjerry.com/company/sear/2010/images/report-icon.gif (broken link)http://www.benjerry.com/company/sear/2010/images/Ben-&-Jerry's-Foundation.jpg (broken link)Part of Ben & Jerry’s commitment to social and economic justice is our support of the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation, which makes grants to grassroots activists making positive change in their own communities. Through the Foundation, we’re helping immigrant workers, neighborhood groups, farm workers and dozens of other groups around the country to get organized and fight for a fair deal. In 2011, Ben & Jerry’s contributed $2,180,808 to the Foundation based on the 2010 sales of the Company.

They should come out with a flavor called "Dirty Lazy Bum" and make vanilla ice cream its base, flavored by ash from burnt marijuana, used needles, posterboard, and sharpie.

What about a "Ch-Occupy Wall Street" flavor complete with chocolate bill dollars?
that's clever.

you should be in marketing for them.

it is a heck of a lot better than the dope who came up with schweddy balls, and i wouldn't even consider trying that.

that is a total turnoff for their ice cream.

They are really not about the hate. Sorry. Carry on.
