I found the Yesmen to be absolutely hilarious! I agree with the ethics of what they’re doing, but not quite 100%. The only qualm I have about their practical jokes, are when they may cause false hope for those who do not deserve it, like in the situation with Dow and Bhopal. However, I find it an excellent and comical way to expose major corporations to their faults and stupidity. I find it to be very believable that these institutions would fall for the Yesmen’s hijinks. Why wouldn’t they? These men have such convincing tactics to fool them with. I do however; find it amusing that they take the Yesmen so seriously. How could they not even begin to consider that it is all a joke, when they are presenting such ludicrous ideas and speeches with so much sincerity? Nonetheless, I am now hooked, and am looking forward to revisiting their site and maybe even renting one of their movies!
