"In March 2000, the Yes Men are put in charge of

answering mail at Gatt.org, a website designed by

RTMark to look like the WTO's official website but

convey the WTO's message more clearly."

They field a request for the WTO's Michael Moore to address a "Free Trade Uber Alles" group.

Mr. Moore was not available, so they sent their own man: "Andreas Bichlbauer, J.D." an imposter masquerading as an official representative of the WTO complete with his own PowerPoint presentation.

Apparently few in the audience could tell the difference between Bichlbauer's staged ravings and the WTO's typical "Free Trade Uber Alles" pitch!

Enjoy!
