As the Yes Men shift the focus of their projects to climate change, we’re seeing some very good and very funny things. This is a (hoax) press release from the Yes Men purporting to be from the US Chamber of Commerce. It’s integrated right into the design of the Chamber’s site, and all the links lead to Chamber pages. The only tip off is that the URL isn’t the Chamber’s. (If you click on the navigation links now there’s a special warning that you came from a hoax page, but the damage was done.) This press release corrects the Chamber’s stand on climate change, the Chamber of Commerce itself was none too happy about this and released their own press release clarifying their stance.
Summarily, the Yes Men rightly made the Chamber look like idiots, and drew attention to their odd, backwards policy on climate change.
