GET UPDATES FROM The Yes Men
 
The Yes Men agree their way into the fortified compounds of commerce, ask questions, and then smuggle out the stories of their hijinks to provide a public glimpse at the behind-the-scenes world of business. The Yes Men are currently focussed on The Yes Lab, a series of brainstorms and trainings to help activist groups carry out creative actions focused on their own campaign goals.

The Yes Men’s award-winning documentary film, The Yes Men Fix the World (2009), is available for download on Vodo.net. It has shown on HBO and on television and in theaters worldwide.
