Yes Men Response

In the film "The Yes Men Fix the World," there are two men who play the lead throughout the whole film. These two men go by the name of Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bananno. Throughout their film they play pranks on media companies/organizations by pretending to be people that are obviously not. Two of those who the Yes Men pretended to be were corporate officials and government officials. They did this to take these media companies/organizations down as they produce media that benefit corporate executives. The reason why the Yes Men play these pranks is because they do not like how corporate executives use media to give false testimonies to those people who truly believe in these corporate executives. The Yes Men try to take them down as they do not appreciate how corporate executives profit from the lies they make up that will supposedly benefit "the people" , but in the long run do not.

The way Andy and Mike would play these brilliant pranks was by going after those who brought neglect unto India. Once they would see this, the Yes Men would in an instant intervene to take them down. Another way the Yes Men would critique media was by creating a fake website that would soon take down all Dow representatives.

Throughout each of our classes, we have discussed how influential media is and is continually rising in each of our lives. Media has become such a big influence that it has become invisible to us and even "normal" in everyday life. Because media has become so invisible to us media spectators, the Yes Men have had to impose by critiquing such media to reveal the reality.
