The Yes Men: Is Obama Living Up to His Campaign Promises? Commonwealth Club - The Commonwealth Club of California The Yes Men (Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno) pose as top-notch representatives for large corporations and nations…yes, nations. At the Copenhagen Climate Conference last December, The Yes Men delivered a faux press release claiming Canada was reversing its position on climate change. And how can one forget the jaw-dropping statements made by spokesperson for Dow Chemical accepting full responsibility for the Bhopal disaster on worldwide news station BBC?Needless to say, they have a knack for striking chords of condemnation and admiration, stimulating polar perspectives simultaneously. Their latest documentary, The Yes Men Fix the World, has been hailed as a riotous reminder that patriotism is often misconstrued as troublemaking. This talk at the Commonwealth Club features Andy Bichlbaum, leading member of the Yes Men.
