Hundreds of NYC Students “Die” on 25th Anniversary of Bhopal Chemical Disaster:  Massive Photogenic “Human Installation” in Union Square

Residents on their way to work in Helsinki two weeks ago were surprised to get handed free copies of a local tabloid – but unlike every other day, this one was full of good news! The fake paper was printed by Finnish activists, inspired by the New York Times Special Edition.

What could be scarier than the impending doom of climate change?

The heads of the Survivaball corporation came out to rep their new line of Survivaballs to the NYC parade-watching public. Not that they could afford one.
Yes Men apprentices Rupert Waltham and Whitney Black led an army of 12 Survivaballs up 6th avenue, dressed as Yes Men spokemen Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonnano and carrying the glistening Survivaball banner. Hopefully the real Yes Men won't sue us for impersonating them.
