Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Yes Men Pull Off Halliburton Hoax And the Yes Men have struck again. On Tuesday, a man claiming to be a representative for the company Halliburton gave a presentation at the " Catastrophic Loss " conference at the Ritz-Carlton in Amelia Island, Florida. The conference included leaders from the insurance industry. The phony spokesperson gave his name as Fred Wolf. He told conference-goers Halliburton had invented the SurvivaBall -- a new orb-like inflatable product to protect corporate managers from the effects of global warming. Wolf said: “It's essentially a gated community for one.†The hoax comes less than two years after a Yes Men member appeared on the BBC claiming to be a spokesperson for Dow Chemical. He said Dow was taking responsibility for the Bhopal chemical disaster -- forcing the company to remind the world it did not take responsibility for the disaster and that there was no compensation fund set-up for the victims. What's gonna happen when the buses don't run and what's gonna happen when the, winter comes what are you gonna do, what are you gonna do when the oil runs out?
