PRANKSTERS WHO
issued a press release purporting to be from Dow
Chemical found the joke rebounding on them full steam
ahead,
Lawmeme reports.
The Yes Men gave a URL for Dow Chemical's web site
which was also a parody, but then faced action from the
legal beagles which resulted in the Yes Men's ISP
removing dow-chemical.com and the whole of activist
network Thing.Net, reports LawMeme.

site snatched because the pranksters registered the name
as a relative of Dow's CEO.
He then promptly grabbed the domain back, seeing as
it belonged to him...

Men site which says thing.net is now threatened with
becoming nothing.net... µ
