The Yes Men

Ok, so it’s 6:30ish in the morn­ing, and I’m watch­ing a video of the Yes Men at work. They’re an arts/political per­for­mance group, and they’re con­vinc­ing impos­tors, lam­poon­ing the GTO, Dow Chem­i­cal, or oth­er glob­al sym­bols… Here, the Yes Men pose as reps from the WTO, and present a mod­est pro­pos­al for solv­ing world hunger. I don’t know what is more fun­ny: the pre­sen­ta­tion, the graph­ics, the ani­ma­tion, or the believ­ing stu­dents. Why didn’t the pro­fes­sor butt in?
