The Yes Men vs. U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Posted by John Wellington Ennis

Because video is slow getting out today on this latest stunt by The Yes Men, here is their salvo at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for embracing the big business agenda over progress on climate control.

The Yes Men, the activist impersonators of corporate excess, continue to outdo themselves. As they have put out two movies about what they do, and they get more mainstream coverage, you’d think the press would not be so easily duped by something so clearly fishy-sounding: An announcement by the US Chamber of Commerce that it is reversing its position aganst climate change legislation, and instead embrace environmental issues wholeheartedly. This one gets even better, as a visibly flustered official from the Chamber of Commerce interrupts the fake press conference to try to set the record straight, leading to a game of the old “No, I’M the real guy--don’t listen to HIM!”
