Mike Bonanno and Andy Bichlbaum have figured out a way to fight the nefarious forces of globalization that does not involve getting bludgeoned by a riot cop. No, Mike and Andy believe it's sometimes better to make your point by wearing a gold leotard with an inflatable metre-long phallus.

As the principals behind The Yes Men -- described as a "genderless, loose-knit association of some 300 imposters worldwide" -- they perform elaborate pranks that ridicule the agenda of the World Trade Organization and other international institutions.

A hilarious documentary by the team that created American Movie, The Yes Men highlights Mike and Andy's finest achievements and details the events leading up to the unveiling of the "Management Leisure Suit" at a textiles convention in Finland.

Thanks to their bogus WTO website (http://gatt.org), Mike and Andy intercept invitations and interview requests intended for bona fide WTO officials. Appearing under pseudonyms such as Hank Hardy Unruh and Granwyth Hulatberi, they say absurd things that become eerily plausible when rendered in the slick prattle of corporate PR. In one clip, a Canadian Alliance MP is bamboozled by the announcement of the WTO's disbandment. At a seminar in Salzburg, Andy argues that siestas in Spain and long lunches in Italy should be outlawed for contravening standardized business hours. And despite nearly missing their appearance due to confusion over time zones, they triumphantly present their suit to a smattering of confused Finns.

Though the pranks are more lighthearted than cruel, it's genuinely disturbing to see how much audiences let the Yes Men get away with -- even pro-fascist rants are greeted with polite applause. Such is the general response that it's surprising when American students vent their disgust at a PowerPoint presentation about recycling human waste as burgers for Third World consumption.
