Thats the guy from the movie "The Yes Men"! Those guys are a scream. He
posed as a WTO board member on CNN international and said we could
bring back slavery? They also hacked into some talking G.I. Joe doll
before they were released to stores and made them say things like "Does
my hair hi-lites match my shoes?" Funny DVD if you haven't seen it,
rent it.
The Yes Men are so so cool. They're fabulous.
Works for me.
One of the funniest parts of "The Yes Men" was when they did one of
their pitches for a bunch of college students, who were outraged. All
these corporate audiences fall for it hook line and sinker, but a bunch
of college kids still have enough common sense to say "no way"
Great prank.
I'm not even sure the college students would have caught onto them had
they not been trying to sell burgers made out of recycled human shit.
I
hope this gives their movie some pub because people would be blown away
by what these guys got away with. A member of Canadian parliment
praised the fake press release that the WTO was shutting down because
they were only helping companies and hurting the general population.
The Yes Men do good work.
What a good idea. Performance-art-protest.
That name seemed weird so I fired up the Internet Anagram Server.

Eh, I guess not.
Is the jerk impersonating our president part of this crowd?
When a Yes Man posed as a Dow Chemical spokesman apoligizing and
promising compensation for the Bhopal massacre,Dow's stock price
dropped almost immediatly.The spirit of Abbie Hoffman lives in the Yes
Men.
Of course, what makes the joke is that every single thing the Yes Man
said was being done, is something that under a moral president (say, Al
Gore) WOULD have been done.
Have you ever seen Mark Thomas? he does something very similar but a bit more in-your-face.
