Kort fortalt:
Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno are two guys who just can't take "no" for an answer.
They have an unusual hobby: posing as top executives of corporations they hate. Armed with nothing but thrift-store suits, the Yes Men lie their way into business conferences and parody their corporate targets in ever more extreme ways - basically doing everything that they can to wake up their audiences to the danger of letting greed run our world.
The Yes Men are a group of culture jamming activists who practice what they call "identity correction" by pretending to be powerful people and spokespersons for prominent organizations. From their offices in Milwaukee, they create and maintain fake websites similar to ones they want to spoof, and then they accept invitations received on their websites to appear at conferences, symposia, and TV shows. They express the idea that corporations and governmental organizations often act in dehumanizing ways toward the public.
Det er helt utrolig hva de greier å få folk til å gå på, og det er ganske sjokkerende å høre tilbakemeldingene de får. Underholdende, konspirasjonsteoretisk og opplysende! Filmen kan skafffes på DVD, Itunes og Goodscreenings.com

F.eks. messen som blir arrangert i etterkant av Katrina, som skal handle opp oppbyggingen av New Orleans, men det er bare krig- og våpenprodusenter som er representert.
