Rod sez: “…[T]hese activist/pranksters called the “Yes Men” run a WTO parody site (www.gatt.org). The organizers of this textiles conference mistakenly sent an invitation to this spoof site, asking if a representative of the WTO would like to deliver a speech. One of the Yes Men accepted, and delivered his own subversive speech, in part commenting on how the economics of globalization are so much more efficient for businesses than the economics of pre-Civil War slavery. The speech was strongly received; the Master of Ceremonies praised it three times during the day. The Harper’s site being so thin, I doubt they’ll put it online, but here’s the full text of the speech on the Yes Men’s site.” Link Discuss
