Bingo. If anyone wants to point fingers at who started it, it was Adbusters (oddly enough a Vancouver based magazine).

They've had numerous campaigns for years, stuff like Buy Nothing Day, but I don't think they even had a clue what would happen with OWS would catch on. I digress.
But It doesn't surprise me that a political group would invest time, money and effort in to the Occupy Wallstreet and it's left leaning message. Just like it doesn't surprise me that a right-leaning group would invest time, money and effort in to the Tea Party movement.
