It will come to you with lots of experience after going all over America and even to the Copenhagen climate talks in December! Use it to stage your own hijinks in your home town, scare off the neighbor's dog, as a glorified raincoat, or to protect yourself from the in-laws. There are countless ways to use Survivaball, knowing that you'll always be protected from climate disaster.

The Yes Men are a group who use any means necessary to agree their way into the fortified compounds of commerce, and then smuggle out the stories of their undercover escapades to provide a public glimpse at the behind-the-scenes world of big business. The stories are often both shocking and hilarious. They have been called "the Jonathan Swift of the Jackass generation" by author Naomi Klein. The Yes Men have impersonated World Trade Organization, Dow Chemical Corporation, and Bush administration spokesmen on TV and at business conferences around the world. They do this (a) in order to demonstrate some of the mechanisms that keep bad people and ideas in power, and (b) because it's absurdly fun. Their main goal is to focus attention on the dangers of economic policies that place the rights of capital before the needs of people and the environment.
