Can satire put the powerful on the spot? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with Andy Bichlbaum, member of the Yes Men and the co-director of the documentary, The Yes Men Fix the World. Disguised as captains of industry, The Yes Men use their authority to humiliate corporate and government leaders. What has their experience of going undercover in the halls of power taught them about the way authority works? Send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org or join us live at 11 a.m. Can 21st century corporations be shamed into change? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Can corporations be shamed into doing the right thing? I see a definite possibility, but only if there is a coordinated effort centered around one of these brilliant pranks. The Yes Men are the marines, but you've got to send in the army to finish the job.
As for the Bhopal stunt, thank you, thank you for reviving 'old news.'
