The Yes Men Fix The World
Sometimes, switching on the evening news can feel like watching some kind of farce. As it turns out, though, you can shake things up quite a bit if you take that concept and run with it.
We’re talking about The Yes Men and their film "The Yes Men Fix The World", which tracks the notorious collective and their antics -- most notably posing as various corporate executives, sneaking into conferences (or inventing their own), and parodying their misbehaving targets. The goal: using "identity correction" to wake up audiences to the danger of letting greed run our world.
Their recent impersonation of the US Chamber of Commerce has brought them a bit of trouble (read: lawsuit). So, to avoid censorship, the group has just launched the peer-to-peer version of their film, which includes the controversial footage of that prank. By tapping into massive distribution through major torrent groups like Pirate Bay and EZTV (check out their interview on the subject here) and fundraising to cover the cost of their next film, they're taking yet another jab at the system they're out to change. We say yes to that.
