Employees Rage Against the Coke Machine?!

COPENHAGEN—Two Cola-Cola* employees urged people in Copenhagen to never drink the soft drink again, denouncing their company's environmental and human rights record in a highly unusual press conference* in the Hopenhagen LIVE area in City Hall Square.

*Of course, it was all white lies and fraudulence. Fraudulence! The two rebels arent actual Coke employees. Theyre from the activist troupe The Yes Men. The pranktivists explanation for the lies? That Coca-Colas greenwashing is dishonest and its environmental impacts and labor practices unjust. Admitting this on Coca-Colas behalf is, as The Yes Men call it, identity correction.
