- ymse 7y agoI recommend skipping the article and jump straight to the movie if you have the time: https://archive.org/details/The.Yes.Men.Fix.The.World.P2P.Edition.2010.Xvid https://archive.org/details/The.Yes.Men.Fix.The.World.P2P.Ed... It was released under a Creative Commons license on recommendation from the EFF, so that the U.S. House of Chambers could not stop it (yes, they tried!). The movie is a documentary of sorts, featuring two people who go to conferences posing as high-profile businesses, promoting oft-ridiculous products to make a point...the only problem is, people keep taking them seriously (even Halliburtons SurvivaBall). At one point they end up live on BBC news and inadvertently wipes $1B+ off a companys public stock value. It is hilarious, and well worth the watch.
