fearroyo on The Yes Men Fix the World

The Yes Men criticize the media for allowing conglomeration and globalization hide the fact that industries taking advantage and tapping into out-of-state resources have little regard for the hosting state’s population to serve their interests.

The Yes Men use and incorporate the main societal problems that are promoted by major businesses. Essentially, Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno attend conventions where individuals with major stakes in a company attend, the one of the two men gives a discourse that lays out bare truth of the outside implications businesses have made regarding resources and people. The Yes Men make an attempt to bring out major concerns in the form that investors and entrepreneurs should be able to recognize, in the guise of expanding corporate interests, and make the observers question whether, or not the idea presented is ethical. The Yes Men attempt to handle the workings of the media by trying to speak to the figureheads that own the media corporations and conglomerates to extrapolate and critique the overall message.

The Yes Men incorporate culture jamming in their pranks.
