Yes Men - U.S. Chamber of Commerce (2009)
20091020 at 16:11 My favorite pranksters, The Yes Men, coordinated a press conference on behalf of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. In attendance were reporters, some of whom were “in on” the prank. Hijinks ensue:
Will the Real Chamber of Commerce Please Stand Up? - Watch more Videos at Vodpod.
[this would be a great place for a Moo cards ad :) ]
Maddow covered the prank, joined by a Mother Jones reporter who was present:
Maddow: Chamber of Commerce punked - Watch more Videos at Vodpod.
The Chamber was recently found to have grossly inflated their membership numbers, and have been hemorraging high-profile companies in part because of their position on climate change.
Andy discusses his first prank, before the Yes Men existed:
