Here’s the trailer for the new documentary on the awesome political pranksters The Yes Men. I caught the film on HBO a couple of weeks ago. It’s great! See it!
The Yes Men have also launched a new interactive web site with a list of challenges you can attempt yourself to “fix the world.”
If you’re not familiar with the always awesome political pranksters The Yes Men, this video will get you up to speed. It’s a talk they gave at Poptech in 2006.

The amount of media coverage the Fake New York Times stunt received was staggering. It spread to news outlets all over the globe like wildfire. The chief organizers of the event, Andy Bichlbaum from The Yes Men and Steve Lambert from the Anti-Advertising Agency appeared on CNN the day after the storm to discuss the project.
We’ve been tipped off to a top secret event happening on the streets on New York next week. The organizers (who include the Yes Men, the Anti-Advertising Agency, and others) aren’t giving much away, but if you’re praying for an Obama win today then this will be up your alley (no matter who wins.)
