The Yes Men Fix the World

The Yes Men have been called “the Jonathan Swift of the Jackass Generation” by author Naomi Klein. They pose as corporate bigwigs, infiltrate the world of big business, and scandalize unsuspecting audiences in ways that shame the world’s biggest corporate criminals. Although fronted by Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno, their membership includes hundreds of agents who prefer to remain anonymous – until duty calls. The group first gained international notoriety a decade ago by impersonating World Trade Organization spokesmen on international TV and at business conferences.
