Exxon Will Burn PEOPLE For Fuel If Climate Calamity Hits Us …The Yes Men have struck again, this time at a GO-EXPO, Canada’s largest oil conference. For those unfamiliar with the awesome Yes Men, these guys think up outrageous pranks that are designed to display corporate America’s (and corporate everyone else’) increasing despicability. At the oil conference, they snuck in pretending to be Exxon reps, and launched into a lengthy, detailed presentation of Exxons emergency management plan, about how they intended to keep the fuel pumping in the event of some enormous calamity– they, of course, would melt down the bodies of the people INVOLVED in such a calamity, thereby recycling the billions of people right back into oil. Then they showed a PowerPoint of how the scientific procedure is accomplished…and then they handed out prototype candles, of which the wax was made from a janitor who wished to demonstrate the potential for the future. The point is, the executives sitting around listening to the pitch didn’t bat an eye. They even lit their sample candles. Nobody even remotely SNIFFED OUT the prank until the Yes Men played a silly video of said Janitor expressing his interest in becoming the first human subject after his "accidental" death. Outrageous.
The picture is from their old prank at a textile conference hosted by the World Trade Organization. If the suit looks outrageous, you need to see the video, because it is. What we’re turning into, all of us, slowly, is a dangerous thing. The Yes Men are out to reveal that, one prank at a time.
