1. Good flick
I found it extremely entertaining.

Amazing how easy it was for those dudes to fake who they were.

7. It's on Google video:
Look for the link "The whole shebang" on the right hand side of this page:
http://theyesmen.org/movie/

Or go directly to the video...

9. Did you notice...? (mild spoiler)
The only people in the film who were shown to have seen through a Yes Men ruse were college kids?

All of the "grownups" they show either (1) were fooled, or (2) didn't call them on it so as to maintain some decorum.

I loved this film when I saw it a few years ago at the Wisconsin Film Festival. I should watch it again.

11. Yes I did notice. The kids were great.

The part about McDonalds re-cycling human waste to feed the poor in third world countries cracked me up because it's sounds exactly like something the WTO would do.
