The Yes Men: Another Anti-Corporate Prank

In this era of cut-throat capitalism imposing it's imperial will the world over with an ominous seriousness that breeds equally serious response on the part of the responsible, sometimes a little levity, a smattering of irony and sarcasm, is just the ticket to get us back on track. That's why I love the Yes Men.

Democracy Now! yesterday had a great story about the Yes Men's latest prank, which takes aim at Haliburton. You can listen to the story via Real Player here. Check out the fake Halliburton website that got them into the LexisNexis sponsored "Catastrophic Loss" conference at the Ritz-Carlton in Amelia Island, Florida.
