short biography
The two university professors Jacques Servin (also known as Andy Bichlbaum) and Igor Vamos (also Mike Bonanno), known as "The Yes Men" are two satirical critical activists of the US protest movement. They expose politicians and corporations and draw attention to global grievances such as climate change. The Yesmen have hosted many effective campaigns, including: Dow Chemical 2004: Andy Bichlbaum announces as a representative of the American Dow Chemical Group on BBC World television that Dow Chemical will pay damages of $ 12 billion to the families of the victims of the Bhopal Chemical Disaster in India, killing thousands, and will redevelope the factory. Even before BBC could deny the news, Dow Chemical's value on Wall Street had fallen by $ 2 billion.
