\"the-yes-man-150x150\"<\/a>Die wohl bekanntesten Culture Jammer, die amerikanischen Yes Men<\/strong><\/a>, die in den letzten Jahren schon f\u00fcr so manchen Coup verantwortlich zeichneten (u.a. ihr Fake der NY Times<\/a>), planen nun den n\u00e4chsten Schlag gegen die gro\u00dfen Konzerne und ihre Handlanger in den Regierungen. Anl\u00e4sslich des Weltklimagipfels in Kopenhagen im September soll es wieder eine spektakul\u00e4re Aktion geben, die hoffentlich auch f\u00fcr ein gewisses mediales Aufsehen sorgt. Ich leite Euch hier mal den offenen Brief der Yes Men weiter, inkl. Unterst\u00fctzungsaufruf:<\/p>\n

Dear Friend,<\/p>\n

We have some really stupid, really big plans for September, and we need
\nyour help to make them come true.<\/p>\n

Last summer, we asked you to help us print 100,000 copies of a “special
\nedition” New York Times, to be published just after Obama’s election and
\nset eight months in the future (July 4, 2009). You responded with
\n$15,000, and the paper made worldwide headlines – real ones:

\nhttp:\/\/deser.pl\/deser\/1,83453,5917595,Dowcip___Falszywy___New_York_Times__oglasza_koniec.html<\/a>
\n http:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/article2\/0,2817,2335607,00.asp<\/a><\/p>\n

July 4, 2009 has now come and gone (http:\/\/www.nytimes-se.com\/<\/a>). A few
\nCEOs have had their salaries capped, Guantanamo is being closed, and
\nthere’s a movement to prosecute the Bush regime for their war crimes.
\nBut sadly, the paper’s most important predictions haven’t come true.
\nWorst of all, climate change isn’t being addressed in any serious way,
\nwhich is getting a lot of people really alarmed.<\/p>\n

Five months from now, in Copenhagen, the world’s leaders will have the
\nchance to stop this mother of all runaway trains from taking us all off
\nthe mother of all really big cliffs (http:\/\/www.sealthedeal2009.org\/<\/a>).
\nFor a whole lot of reasons, it’s up to the U.S. to show how it’s done.
\nIf we can do that, a lot of the other predictions in our “special
\nedition” will also come true.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, we’re showing no signs of doing that:
\nhttp:\/\/www.foe.org\/global-warming,<\/a>
\nhttp:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/press-center\/releases2\/greenpeace-opposes-waxman-mark<\/a><\/p>\n

So a lot of groups are planning actions this fall to show government
\nwhat we need it to do:
\nhttp:\/\/www.BeyondTalk.net\/<\/a>, http:\/\/www.350.org\/<\/a>, http:\/\/tcktcktck.org\/<\/a>,
\netc.<\/p>\n

As for us Yes Men, we have a very stupid three-part plan to publicly
\nridicule our stupidest leaders. It’ll involve lots of stitching,
\nhammering, and risking arrest – which is fine, as we’ve assembled a
\ncrack team of daredevil seamstresses. But unfortunately, it’s also going
\nto cost money.<\/p>\n

If you can help with this side of things, please click here:
\nhttp:\/\/theyesmen.org\/donate\/now<\/a>. For a donation of $50 or more we’ll
\nsend you some copies of the “special edition” New York Times, along with
\n(while supplies last) the fake International Herald Tribune from last
\nmonth (http:\/\/www.iht-se.com\/<\/a>), the one that launched
\nhttp:\/\/BeyondTalk.net\/.<\/p>\n

Or, if you’d like to chip in over $500, we can consider it a loan, and
\nwe’ll pay you back in the spring from revenues we hope come in from our
\nmovie, hitting theaters in October: http:\/\/theyesmenfixtheworld.com<\/a>.
\nFor that, please write to us:
\nmailto:people@theyesmen.org?subject=Investment%20in%20action<\/a><\/p>\n

Also, if you live in New York and know how to sew, please let us know by
\nclicking “costume design” on your profile and typing “sewing.” And if
\nyou don’t mind getting arrested for a good cause, please sign up here:
\nhttp:\/\/BeyondTalk.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Please help as you can! If nothing else, it’ll be really funny. But it
\ncould be a whole lot more too.<\/p>\n

As worried as you are,
\nThe Yes Men<\/p>\n
