Yes Men strike again

Anti-WTO impostors have struck again, delivering a lecture about the rights of slavery, the stupidity of Gandhi and the supremacy of free trade to an enthusiastic crowd of scientists, engineers and marketing professionals; who all thought they were watching an official WTO representative. 150 experts at the ‘Textiles of the Future’ conference in Tampere, Finland heard Hank Hardy Unruh explain that Gandhi’s ‘self-sufficiency’ movement was misguided because it centred on protectionism and that Lincoln, by outlawing slavery, had criminally interfered with the South’s trade freedom.

Finally to applause from the highly educated audience, Unruh ripped off his suit to reveal a golden leotard with a three-foot-long phallus. “If a group of Ph.D.s cheers at such crudely crazy things, just because it’s the WTO saying them, what else can the WTO get away with?” said a spokesperson for the Yes Men, the impostors’ umbrella group.
