[ssf] Yes Men

[Chris Malins]

Strongly recommended film showing today and tomorrow at the Showroom. 
Chronicling the adventures of two anti-capitalists masquerading as the 
WTO, this documentary is not to be missed:


When two under-employed activists find their mock World Trade 
Organisation website taken seriously, they decide to go along for the 
ride – and begin showing up as ‘spokesmen’ for the organisation they 
love to hate. This is how the pair of pranksters find themselves on a 
surreal global tour, where they recommend that giant phalluses be used 
to administer electric shocks to sweatshop employees, and that the third 
world’s poor be made to eat the rich West’s second-hand burgers. A dark 
satire that hits at some of the absurdities of the global free trade 
movement


And then why not go to www.gatt.org to find out why the Iraq War is 
being challenged at the WTO as an illegal trade subsidy.
