The Yes Men

The Yes Men are a group of culture-jamming artist-activists led by Jacques Servin and Igor Vamos. They came to prominence during the 1999 WTO conference in Seattle when they created a fake WTO website. Through parody, the Yes Men aim to raise awareness about problematic social and political issues. They espouse a belief that corporations and governmental organizations often behave in dehumanizing ways toward the public, which can be partly combatted with mocking humor. To date, the group has produced three films: The Yes Men (2003), The Yes Men Fix the World (2009), and The Yes Men Are Revolting (2014). In the films, the Yes Men impersonate corporate and government entities that they dislike, a practice they call "identity correction."
