Yes Men FIx the World blog 11 week 10
The Yes Men film is very interesting because these men try and stir contrversy with large corporations as best as they can. They defnitely ask the general public and corporations to re-assess how the operation of corporations effect the world on the large scale. The Yes Men cover issues the media usually decides to leave out. They are strategically accurate with their satire of corporations and are seeking to expose the immoral practices of corporations fueled by greed and wealth. My favorite part and the scene on the back cover of the movie was the survival ball. I thought this part was incredibly funny yet pertinent to the overall theme of the movie. In a way the, Yes Men pit the general public against corporations. They strive for the general public to ask the question why do we allow such awful practices by corporations to go on? I really enjoyed the film.

I agree I felt that the Yes Men did a very good job of making the public aware. The media would often ask the public if they were mad over the "jokes" that the Yes Men played and the public would answer "No." They would say that although the Yes Men were not able to change things or tricked them, ultimately in the end they helped them, so they were not angry. They helped them realize that they should not just let the corporations just do what they want when the corporations really have the means to fix the problems that they are causing.
