The Yes Men crash oil expo

yesmen_2.jpgCorporate ethics activists “The Yes Men” crashed the Gas and Oil Exposition 2007 in Calgary yesterday. Their presentation on “Vivoleum,” a new fuel source derived from the bodies of people killed by climate change, was going over pretty well until they showed this video. In it, former Exxon janitor Reggie Watts expresses his dying wish to be made into the candles that were passed out to oil executives at the event.

I think I speak for everyone here at RAN when I say this: Yes Men, you rock.
