Pranksters Pull Off Hoax With Fake Website
A group known as The Yes Men, an anti-globalization activism group, pulled off a startling prank recently. It began with a fake World Trade Organization website that looks much like the real thing. Apparently, a convention of lawyers didn't look too closely when viewing the fake site, and so the lawyers convention requested that Micheal Moore, head of the WTO, speak at their convention. All too happy to oblige, the Yes Men sent their representative, posing as one of Moore's colleagues, to lecture the lawyers on the real agenda of the WTO.
