Bhopal Disaster - BBC - The Yes Men

The Yes Men strike again. Impersonating a Dow Chemical spokesman on BBC, "Jude Finisterra" promises a huge compensation for the thousands of victims of the Bhopal disaster in which Dow Chemical's subsidiary Union Carbide India was responsible for in 1984.

It's no accident that the video hangs at 4:45

@lazlounderhill The video doesn't hang in my computer... What happens there?

[buttermilch1989]

Dow Chemical's stock went down 2 billion dollars during this interview. Yes Men rule!

[Ex0dus111]

Well... that is NOT Alessio Rastani.

[coleary2006]

how did they not know he wasn't a real spokesperson! A real DOW employee wd not speak like that

[TyRafferty]

there is a petition on change dot org about DOW and their sponsorship of the Olympics and their lack of responsibility concerning Bhopal.

[yazmut]

[sairam19]

@didn't Ahhh alright, if that's what you meant then I understand and I'm sorry

I had relatives that were agent oranged so I have a "I want to see those people strung up" attitude when it comes to people cheating victims. I'd condone anything up to and including dropping a satellite on their company retreat

I took the yes man thing as someone finally taking a shot at a completely irresponsible group of asshats that KNOW that they're above the law

I guess I misinterpreted it so I'll apologize.

@dffykvn I only meant that it got the hopes up of all the people in Bhopal, only to find out it was a lie.

It's like having cancer and someone coming up to you and tells you that they will cure you, only you later find out it was a lie. I know it did some good, like damaging the companies stock prices. So, I'm still in two minds about it. But thank you for the comment, it's nice to be able to explain myself.

[dffykvn]

@DidntKnowWhatToPut1 Yea, those mean bullies!

Poisoned indians? Fuck em!  The real victim is the poor defenseless corporation...

Whine harder bitch!

[Agnelum1]

@BlueClansman great prank in the sense that Dow executives/board must have been BRICKING it. but sad because the victims families would have got their hopes up on hearing this.

but still a great troll if Dow's value on the stock market took a hit. hit em where it hurts.

[BlueClansman]

Isn't this the best prank ever?!?!?!?

[LoCoLebanese]

wow they will pay money for the PEOPLE WHO WILL SUFFER FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE..... Great.. i hope who did this get to suffer for the rest of their life as well maybe they can feel how its different to see to feeling the pain..
