The Yes Men
A comedic documentary which follows The Yes Men, a small group of prankster activists, as they gain world-wide notoriety for impersonating the World Trade Organization on television and at business conferences around the world. The film begins when two members of The Yes Men, Andy and Mike, set up a website that mimics the World Trade Organization's--and it's mistaken for the real thing. They play along with the ruse and soon find themselves invited to important functions as WTO representatives. Delighted to represent the organization they politically oppose, Andy and Mike don thrift-store suits and set out to shock unwitting audiences with darkly comic satire that highlights the worst aspects of global free trade.

An awesome documentary...very amusing and very enlightening. For the poster who can't see the argument...it's pretty obvious? The WTO supports MNC's and business at the expense of people, existence and real lives (of the people in developing countries).
reply | permalinkThe documentary shows how apathetic those people at the business talks have become and how depressing the situation is...
All while making me smile.
A great documentary - reccomended to everyone.

The WTO is free trade? Regulations are free trade? There's something very ass-backwards about that.

Excellent documentary... Hope it will help some right winger to look into their own ugly mirror... Thanks for sharing :)

Did anyone else notice they never make a coherent argument for their point or a supportive statement for whatever their platform is? It is completely unclear what their point is or what they think is a better course of action. I watched this movie with hope of understanding the WTO protestors, but was met with the same "were smart, you're wrong" inexplicable rhetoric. Having watched the whole thing, I remain unclear on what exactly The Yes Men or WTO protestors in general are arguing for, only what they are against. Further, I doubt they understand even that. They are representative of the altogether sophomoric nature of this side of the debate.

This is NOT interesting. It is a documentary about naughty children doing naughty things and thinking they are cool. It is rubbish. Any idiot with a camera could do this stuff and any idiot could trade on peoples reluctance to be rude and take advantage of them. Michele Moore does the same stuff except he makes no effort to be accurate. It's only funny to idiots.
