Yes men! Response

I really enjoyed the Yes Men documentary we watched in class. I wish there were more people likes these guys who point out the ridiculousness of the current world we live in. How far gone are we as a nation were a group of highly educated individuals can sit through their lectures but a bunch college students cant catch that discrepancies right away. I'm not saying that I'm surprised that the college kids got it first (of course we are the best group at calling out bullshit, its practically everyone hobby) I'm saying its pathetic that the adults just sit through it like it was a sex ed seminar. It's these same adults that lambaste us college kids for not being current or smart but at least we see and bitch about the amount of change that needs to happen. We just don't fight harder because we don't want to piss away all the time in our life when we are physically attractive.
Back to the Yes Men. These guys relate to assignment #6 more than #5 because of their methods of culture jamming. Instead of re contextualizing news footage through editing they just go inside and change it from within. Which brings me to something else ridiculous about how they operate. The WTO is a very highly regarded organization and you would expect that someone from either in the news networks or in the WTO would be checking up on these guys. These are the kind of scary realizations one has in college when they start to realize that the world is a much less organized and caring place. It's full of neglect and greed, even when you climb all they way up to things like the friggin World Trade Organization and network news. The way things are going these guys will probably end up getting tazed a bunch of times then "accidently" dieing in a prison cell. Anyone who asks questions will probably meet the same fate. I predict that culture jamming will be illegal in our lifetime.
