We all know how important it is to speak truth to power. But the question is, what is the best way to do it? Mike Bonanno and Andy Bichlbaum, also known as the YES MEN, found their own particularly clever way: PRETEND you're the power, then say the truth you wish they'd say. Then sit back and wait for the inevitable poo storm, and use it to draw attention to the real hoax — that big corporations and the governments they buy give a damn about anyone except shareholders and the rich. It's a good plan, and you can see it in action in the mostly documentary, THE YES MEN FIX THE WORLD.
