Yes Men get a No?

0 Comments 27 October 2009

A law suit filed today against the Yes Men for their climate stunt this week - a faux press conference declaring the Chamber of Commerce’s support for environmental legislation – argues they crossed the line from symbolic parody into stealing, or in the words of the Chamber’s CLO Steven Law, “commercial identity theft.” So the Chamber hopes to prove. Law pointed to the Yes Men’s own commercial interests in promoting their product sales. Here is a link to the faux release, and complete coverage of the stunt on Politico. Reuters picked up the story so fast, it apologized for potentially effecting an epic hiccup in markets.
