Do You Dare Say No To The Yes Men?

The Yes Men are among our
favorite troublemakers -- they've made art out of telling the awful
truth while posing as representatives of awful companies, accumulating
media attention and thereby forcing those companies to acknowledge
that, yes, we do terrible things. Their previous project involved the Halliburton SurviaBall,
a goofy made-up suit for executives to comfortably wear even after
their environmental offal rendered the planet uninhabitable.
It wasn't a cheap stunt to produce, and their next one won't be, either. So they need your help. They're asking for PayPal donations, which seems a bit sketch to us -- you don't even know what you're donating for, exactly. What if they're going to be using the funds to make fun of you?
That's probably not too likely, though, so if you're willing to take the risk, lend them some cash and then sign up for their mailing list to find out what happens next. Hey, it's just sending money to strangers on the Internet -- nothing wrong with that.
