WHO:

THE YES MEN (currently being sued by The U.S. Chamber of Commerce) are Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bananno. They have an unusual hobby: posing as top executives of corporations they hate. Armed with nothing but thrift-store suits, the Yes Men lie their way into business conferences and parody their corporate targets in ever more extreme ways - basically doing everything that they can to wake up their audiences to the danger of letting greed run our world. Their new documentary, The Yes Men Fix The World, debuts in SF Friday, October 30. Described as:

"Outrageously entertaining....This movie is glorious testimony to the moral power of satire." - New York Magazine

"Great fun! It takes some nerve, not to mention diabolical intelligence... to pull off the elaborate pranks devised by the Yes Men." - New York Times
