As mentioned in my previous post, there's a movie coming out next month called The Yes Men. The movie is about a group of guys who are able to trick people into thinking they represent the World Trade Organization, and they use their "power" to drive home the true facts about Globalization and how it results in starvation and horrendous business practices.
The reason I'm posting about them twice is that I really want to make sure you all check out their website at TheYesMen.org. This is a seperate website from the movie one, so make sure and check out both. This site lays out the pranks they've pulled at Salzburg, CNBC, Tampere, Plattsburgh, and the real Coup de Gras in Sydney.The WTO, Andy explains, has finally understood that corporate globalization is hurting the little guy; it has therefore to shut down completely. After that, Andy explains, the WTO will re-launch as a new organization—the Trade Regulation Organization—devoted, as its name suggests, to making corporations behave responsibly towards all world citizens, not just the wealthy. Instead of serving to help businesses do business—this is the way the WTO explicitly describes itself on its website—it will henceforward make sure that business helps people.
The lecture includes nearly an hour of shocking statistics drumming home the need for this massive transformation.
The accountants rally behind the plan with excitement. They are authentically thrilled at this radical new direction the WTO is taking. At the luncheon, some of them give suggestions for insuring that the new organization will serve the poor rather than only the rich. It is very clear that these accountants want to help the poor as much as we do. I ask you to visit this site and read about their "pranks." It's not only funny but really lets you see the dangers of corporate globalization in a totally new medium.
