Honest people impersonate big-time criminals in order to publicly humiliate them. Targets are leaders and big corporations who put profits ahead of everything else.

I hate these guy's politics, but I admire their technique. They manage to get themselves on TV impersonating important corporate or government spokes people and provide subtly sarcastic commentary.

DADA LIVES!!!

I hate these guys, period. Have you seen the movie "The Yes Men?" It was one long ego-trip by a group of individuals with no concept of what they even stand for. They represent the worst in confrontational countercultural values and they actually made me want to support the WTO. I still cannot bring myself to support the WTO, but I would love to see the fifteen minutes of fame that these dickbags bilked out of a underwhelming and pointless form of bland trickery evaporate like dew in the morning sun. What idiots.
