True Activism

I thought what these two guys are doing is just Jim Dandy.

If you click on the title link, you'll be taken to Democracy Now, which showcases an interview with the Yes Men. The Yes Men are political activists who mask themselves as legitimate corporate spokespeople and make announcements that they believe these companies should be doing.

In the clip above, one of the Yes Men poses as a spokesman for Dow Chemical and apologizes to the people of Bhopal, India for the mess their subsidy, Union Carbide made years ago. He goes on to say how the people will be compensated for their disabilities and for the pollution of their homes caused by Union Carbide.
