Acceptable risk

Unveiling a golden skeleton named Gilda, the Yes Men strike again

delivering a speech at an international banking conference as " VP of

Acceptable Risk, Erastus Hamm for Dow Chemical " (you may remember Dow

from such disasters as the Bhopal spill...video here).

They explain: " Had we had Acceptable Risk™ back in 1972, we would have

known that Dursban's [a WWII nerve gas derived pesticide banned in the

US] global potential, combined with low chances of major risk

'blossoming,' would mean that if Dursban was going to be a skeleton in

the closet, it would be a golden one--which it is. "

The speech was met with many congratulations from attending bankers.
