3. It Won! Two points, one good, one iffy:

1. They got flooded with Occupeep entries, and WaPo said an Occupy winner took on an air of inevitability.

2. The winning submission was by someone who "doesn't necessarily agree with Occupy, but supports their right to protest." The Post editors said that her inclusion of accurate signage -- she "wanted to fairly represent Occupy and not make light of their complaints" coupled with a touch that especially appealed to the Post editors according to their winning entry description -- the rats. "I had heard about the rats, and the V for Vendetta mask, so I had to include those," the artist said. Apparently the Post thought the rats showed a willingness to be relentlessly fair and unbiased that distinguished it from the other entries. You know, like the Post itself.
