Politics Dear Smart Brooklynites: Fight the Man with Wheat Paste, Win Cool Stuff

Posted by Jonny Diamond on Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 12:50 PM

Arch political pranksters The Yes Men (lurve them) are now crowd-sourcing their dagger-sharp anti-corporate spoofage with a fake ad wheat paste contest. The target? This latest series of Chevron ads is pretty ripe for parody, as you can see by some of these hum-dingers.

So, the good, err, men, at The Yes Men want you to make your own spoofed Chevron ad, paste it up, and send a photo—there will be prizes. Good luck, angry-funny-creative Brooklynite.

Tags: The Yes Men, Chevron, satire, parody, anarchy, resistance, having a sense of humor is the only way to survive this world of ours
