The Yes Men have been around for a few years now. They are basically two dudes who pose as members of Corporations and then get into those corporations and play hilarious, rad pranks on them. Just a small list of those pranks includes:
1. Posing at WTO members and proposing Slavery for Africa.
2. Pretending to be Halliburton representatives and getting into a business conference where they proposed a “SurvivaBall” for Corporate Executives to get into when their actions destroy the Earth for everyone else.
3. Posing as Dow Executives and Giving an “Acceptable Death Count” speech to Dow Executives in front of a golden skeleton named Gilda, who they proposed be the new Dow Acceptable Death Count Mascot.
Now, they have a new movie coming out documenting even more of their awesome pranks that expose corporate greed, antipathy, and willingness to kill pretty much whoever in order to maintain the bottom line for their investors. All of which is done through incredibly sharp, inciteful, shocking pranks. Just some personal suggestions I’d like to give the Yes Men for future pranks:
1. Pose as L. Ron Hubbard and give a speech to a convention full of Scientologists about how wearing a living squid around your neck like a shawl keeps out negative energy.
2. Pose as member of Obama’s Cabinet and convince Barack Obama that if he’s not going to close Guantanimo Bay on time, they should at least spring build an ESPN Sports Zone wing of the detention center for inmates to hang out in.
3. Pose as a Fox News Executive and give out directives to all their pundits that in order to keep their jobs, they have to share a king size bed with a black person, a poor person, and a gay man for one full year.
Unless any of the above corporations or governmental bodies own shares in Manolith, in which case, I denounce the Yes Men and their actions and think they ought to be arrested.
