The Absurd Comedy of 'Fix The World' Goes Hand-in-Hand with the Yes Men's Aestheticnew
There's a surprising amount of both intellectual and comic rigor on display here, and belly laughs are plentiful. At the very least, the Yes Men, for a moment, steal anti-capitalist activism from unappealing anarcho-crusaders and make it seem like something we could all get behind.

Part of the lingering stigma attached to abortion is based on anti-choice rhetoric and scare tactics.
