Watch: Yes Men spoof newspaper on climate
The Associated Press reports:
A day before a U.N. summit on climate change, an activist prankster group distributed copies of a fake newspaper mimicking the New York Post to draw attention to global warming. The front-page story in the newspaper parody Monday warned of “massive climate catastrophes” and “public health disasters.”
Volunteers for The Yes Men distributed the free parody outside busy commuter hubs in Manhattan and Brooklyn, including one of the city’s main train stations, Penn Station.
They also launched a website here.

Cool, why don’t we in the UK have stuff like that?
We don’t have ‘stuff like that’ because our repressive Government has seen to it that any dissent would incur the attention of their StormTroopers aka The Metropolitan Police who would hide their badge numbers whilst beating the crap out of them.
Welcome to Labours Orwellian state.
Since when did LC’s comment board get mixed up with the Daily Mail’s?
We need stuff like that here too, though it requires a bit of funding.
Silent – and you think Tories will be better? Havin a laugh ain’t ya?
I love the New York Post goblin getting hliariously sniffy about the “sensationalism” and then pointing to the “real” edition’s “real news,” before sneeringly accusing a passing cyclist of being an “environmentalist”!
Fantastic. He didn’t look like a c**t at all!
