The Yes Men BY: DAVID PERRY
The Yes Men are Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno, a pair of
free market activists who’ve had such an impact that George W. Bush has
called the “trash.” Even if they’ve been on the news many times, their scams
still remain mostly uncaught. These are a collection of insane stories from
appearances at symposiums and talking heads shows, all built around making
completely absurd statements for the World Trade Organization to make the
place seem inhumane (which they consider it to be). As a couple of the
smarter people in the early days of the Internet, they grabbed up gatt.org
(the WTO comes from the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade), and made it
look like an official WTO splash page with links to crazy (but still
somewhat believable) assertions on trade. |
