Anti-Wall St. Protesters in Harold and Kumar Christmas?

I am less than 10 minutes into this movie, and there are anti-wall street protesters angrily harassing Harold...

“The third Harold & Kumar movie opens with what seems to be a direct address of the Occupy Wall Street movement,” says a writer at IndieWire.com. “Harold, now employed in some manner of financial profession, is attacked by an angry mob of anti-Wall Street protesters. They throw eggs, splatter feces and urinate in the direction of the character (and the audience – it’s 3D after all).”
As with Tower Heist and In Time, Harold & Kumar was already underway before OWS, but the actors nevertheless seem anxious for their project to piggyback on the movement.


Main point being...they already knew about this before it happened, and if they cannot succeed with grossing you out with the protesters, then they are going to piggyback the movement so that supporting the movement means supporting them. But they obviously don't want you to like the protesters because you are supposed to like Harold and Kumar.
