The Yes Men Strike Again: Group Poses As Halliburton Reps At "Catastrophic Loss" Conference

The Yes Men have struck again. On Tuesday, a man claiming to be a representative of Halliburton gave a presentation at the "Catastrophic Loss" conference at the Ritz-Carlton in Amelia Island, Florida. Conference attendees include leaders from the insurance industry. We speak with the Yes Men's Andy Bichlbaum, who took part in the hoax.

They initially got the real Halliburton's attention from their Halliburton Contracts website where they proclaim "Halliburton Solves Global Warming!". Their SurvivaBall must be witnessed. It's hysterical. Corporate bigs can wear the SurvivaBall suit while the rest of the world perishes from Global Warming. [/tounge in cheek]

More on the SurviaBall at Halliburton Contracts. See the following link to listen to or watch the show on Democracy Now. Can you say muy grande cajones? Link
