I've been following the antics of the Yes Men for a long time now, and I've always been stunned at the kind of moxie it takes to get away with the things they've pulled. I've really appreciated not only their message, but just the sheer bravado it takes to go to a conference posing as a WTO spokesman and, with a straight face worthy of an oscar, proposing to the audience things like an economic marketplace where shares in human rights abuses are traded.

Appearing in newly purchased suits, the Yes Men gave speeches encouraging corporations to buy votes directly from citizens. They argued that the US Civil War was a waste of money because Third World countries now willingly supply equivalent slaves. They also urged people to listen to the WTO instead of the facts. They then unveiled a gold spandex body suit that they claimed would allow productivity to increase, as managers would not have to oversee workers in person but could keep track of them via images on an attached screen as well as implanted sensors. - Wikipedia
