FEATURE-"Yes Men" pranksters seek recruits in film

Two men, Andy Bichelbaum and Mike Bonanno, call themselves the "Yes Men!" They specialize in pranks and jokes, and are taking it to the next level: the political level. The men, who use dark satire, are currently campaigning for Bush, however, the two men are spreading the ideals of Bush, with a twist. Bonanno explains that they "are campaigning in favor of global warming, in favor of cutting down the forests and in favor of invading more countries." Bonanno continues with, "We're taking all the double speak and spin that comes out of the Bush administration and saying it frankly. Our goal is to get people to react badly, but we can't get them NOT to take us seriously." Their movie will be a documentary of their exploits and gimmicks in select theaters.
