FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WTO INTRODUCES NEW MEMBER
Gold and one meter long, phallus
is brand-new technology to control distant workers
Anti-WTO
impostors have struck again, delivering a lecture about the rights
of slavery, the stupidity of Gandhi, and the supremacy of free trade
to an enthusiastic crowd of scientists, engineers, and marketing
professionals--all of whom thought they were watching an official
WTO representative.
The 150 experts at the "Textiles of the
Future" conference in Tampere, Finland heard one Hank Hardy Unruh
explain that Gandhi's "self- sufficiency" movement was entirely
misguided, because it centered around protectionism, and that
Lincoln, by outlawing slavery, had criminally interfered with the
trade freedom of the South, as well as with slavery's own freedom to
develop naturally. Had slavery never been abolished, Unruh said,
today's much cheaper system of sweatshops would have eventually
replaced it anyhow; following this free-market logic to the end,
Unruh declared the Civil War just a big waste of money.
Finally, to applause from the highly educated audience,
Unruh's business suit was ripped off to reveal a golden leotard with
a three-foot-long phallus. The purpose of the "Management Leisure
Suit", he explained, was to allow managers, no matter where they
were, to monitor their distant, impoverished workforces and to
administer shocks to encourage productivity--assuring that no
"Gandhi-type situation" develop again.
"If a group of Ph.D.s
cheers at such crudely crazy things, just because it's the WTO
saying them, what else can the WTO get away with?" said Andy
Bichlbaum of the Yes Men, the impostors' umbrella group. (The entire
PowerPoint lecture is available at www.theyesmen.org/finland/, along
with some shots captured by a video crew preparing a film on the Yes
Men's activities.)
The Yes Men had a similar experience last
October with a group of international trade lawyers
(www.theyesmen.org/wto/). And in July, a member of the group, again
passing as a representative of the WTO, appeared on a major
television network show about protest's effect on the market
(www.theyesmen.org/tv.html); among other things, he spoke about how
the privatization of education will naturally eliminate
"unproductive" thinkers from the high-school classroom, a long-term
solution to the problem of protest. (Because the imposture was not
noticed and the Yes Men hope for further appearances, the show's
name is being withheld.)
