The Yes Men have done it again.
Just a quick diary to gloat before I'm off to work.

The Yes Men called a press conference yesterday to announce that the US Chamber of Commerce would be reversing its position on climate change. In particular, the Yes Men admitted for the Chamber that there is no such thing as clean coal.
The outrage by the "real CoC-er" as he tries to end the press conference is...awesome. Particularly good is the line: "Do you have a business card?" In the world of lobbyists, apparently, the business card is valid ID.

Gawker also has some further info, as well as several other video clips from earlier stunts: http://gawker.com/...
As another diarist pointed out on Saturday (link would be welcome, couldn't find it through tag search)the Yes Men need help distributing their movie, which is full of other awareness-raising and hilarious pranks. Info on how you can help is available on the movie's website: http://theyesmenfixtheworld.com/
