While true, the Yes Men have a long track record with this type of parody. On this basis, I assume that the legal and monetary repercussions have been negligible.

A list of their past targets:

  * George W. Bush
  * Dow Chemical
  * WTO
  * U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
  * ExxonMobil
  * BP
  * Shell Oil
  * U.S. Chamber of Commerce
  * GE
  * NY Times
  * NY Post

[semi-extrinsic]

  * ExxonMobil
  * BP
  * Shell Oil

OK, these three alone have more money and lawyers than the NRA could ever dream of. If they didn't pursue legal action, there's not a snowball's chance in a hatchery this is going to hold in court.
