Exxon Hacks The Yes Men

Posted on Monday, July 02 at 12:50 by drcaleb
The Yes Men assume the complainant was Exxon. "Since parody is protected under US law, Exxon must think that people seeing the site will think Vivoleum's a real Exxon product, not just a parody," said Yes Man Mike Bonanno. "Exxon's policies do already contribute to 150,000 climate-change related deaths each year," added Yes Man Andy Bichlbaum. "So maybe it really is credible. What a resource!" http://www.infoshop.org/inews/article.php?story=20070628201953222 The Yes Men website on the Vivoleum Project (not for dial up users!) http://theyesmen.org/agribusiness/vivoleum/event/ Previous story: http://www.vivelecanada.ca/article.php/20070615141534614 [Edited 2:04PM to remove redundant paragraph]

    hummmm you don't get censored unless someone has something they really
    don't want out there...most people consider any press good press...as long as
    they spell you name right....I wonder if the Yes Men were beginning to reach the
    public to the point of an awakening?

    We are Exxon, we WILL assimilate yoy

    All this reminds me of a Beatles song, "I am the Walrus"* and makes as much sense


    Imagine the boot of facsism on your throat..... forever
    some writer with a non de garre said that

    I often see or feel when when writung as a form of communication one is required to give directors instructions to the reader in order to convey what is written and so the reader has no chance to interpret and thereby entirely miss the meaning of what the writer, when not a professional, is atempting to convey.

    *I am he as you are he as you are me
    And we are all together
    See how they run like pigs from a gun see how they fly
    I'm crying
