The Yes Men

In these films, they impersonate entities that they dislike, a practice that they call" identity correction".
The Yes Men operate under the mission statement that lies can expose truth.
They create and maintain fake websites similar to ones they intend to spoof, which have led to numerous interview, conference, and TV talk show invitations.
They espouse the belief that corporations and governmental organizations often act in dehumanizing ways toward the public.
Elaborate props are sometimes part of the ruse( e.g. Survivaball), as shown in their 2003 DVD release" The Yes Men".
The Yes Men have collaborated with other groups of similar interest, including Improv Everywhere, Andrew Boyd and Steve Lambert.
