The Yes Men is an artist group that creates websites that mimic large and real corporate websites. One of the main members is an Reed College alumni. In 2002, their website was mistaken for the World Trade Organization’s website and they had the opportunity to make a couple lectures. This group “impersonates big-time criminals in order to publicly humiliate them. Targets are leaders and big corporation who put profits ahead of everything else.”

They were invited to give a lecture at a school in New York, so they pretended to be members of both the WTO and McDonalds, claiming the two companies were excited about their recent partnership endeavor. They went on to explain that they could help solve starvation problems by recycling the feces of people in “first world countries” and turning that into hamburgers in the “third world countries.” The feces-burger could then be recycled 5+ times. This of course got quite the reaction. You can see the video below, complete with an animation of how the recycling process should work. The Yes Men have also released a documentary DVD that is worth checking out:
