The Yes Men fix the world


Do you wanna see more bold people acting? then you guys gotta chek this out. The Yes Men are a group of culture jamming activists who practice what they call "identity correction" by pretending to be the powerful people and spokespersons por prominent organizations. They create and maintain fake websites similat to the ones they want to spoof, and then they accept invitations received on their websites to appear at conferences, symposia, and TV shows. What they come up with while doing all this is simply amazing! A perfect film to stir up a hot and lazy summer day...

Question is: How come banks get richer and richer while we get poorer and poorer? Well, according to Victoria Grant, simply because we're being robbed! Don't miss the girl! And thanks, Cosmina, for the heads up!
