Bhopal Disaster - BBC - The Yes Men
03 Dec 2004 — In front of 30 milliion viewers an elaborate but brilliant hoax makes Dow and the BBC look very, very bad indeed.

One of "The Yes Men" impersonates a Dow chemical spokesman and admits liability and promises compensation for the hundreds of thousands of victims. Subsequent to the hoax being discovered Dows shares drop $2bn and The Yes Men explain that they were attempting to highlight that no cleanup has taken place, the compensation paid is pitiful and Dow, who now own Union Carbide have done everything they can to avoid any responsibility whatsoever for the Bhopal disaster.
You can find them at http://theyesmen.org/
May I recommend "The Yes Men Fix The World" which is a very cool documentary that they made in 2009.

lol Goodbye DOW, that company will be tits up by morning.
Would it be possible Yes Men to get one of you guys that looks like Obama to apologize to the American people for running the country into the ground?
