“The Yes Men Fix The World”, a film by the activist/prankster duo Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno aka The Yes Men, has been released as a downloadable torrent. This special Peer-To-Peer Edition of the film includes an exclusive video of The Yes Men impersonating the United States Chamber of Commerce. The film is also available on DVD.
The Yes Men Fix The World is a screwball true story about two gonzo political activists who, posing as top executives of giant corporations, lie their way into big business conferences and pull off the world’s most outrageous pranks.
From New Orleans to India to New York City, armed with little more than cheap thrift-store suits, the Yes Men squeeze raucous comedy out of all the ways that corporate greed is destroying the planet.
Brüno meets Michael Moore in this gut-busting wake-up call that proves a little imagination can go a long way towards vanquishing the Cult of Greed.
Who knew fixing the world could be so much fun?
Shira Lazar recently interviewed Mike Bonanno for CBS News about the film and the success of the bit torrent release.

Jay Shafer gives a tour of the 100 square foot Tiny House that he lives in. It’s one of several Tiny and Small Houses he has built since 1997 through his Tumbleweed Tiny House Company.
Jay on why he lives in tiny houses:
My name is Jay Shafer and since 1997 I have been living in a house smaller than some people’s closets. I call the first of my little hand built houses Tumbleweed. My decision to inhabit just 89 square feet arose from some concerns I had about the impact a larger house would have on the environment, and because I do not want to maintain a lot of unused or unusable space. My houses have met all of my domestic needs without demanding much in return. The simple, slower lifestyle my homes have afforded is a luxury for which I am continually grateful.
