 The Yes Men, the Anti-Advertising Agency, Improv Everywhere and Me

So, did you hear about the fake New York Times prank? No? OK, read more about it at Gawker.

Anyway, when I first got contacted back in May, I got the sense that they were going for a funny parody. That, I think, was a misreading of their intent. Instead, I think they wanted celebratory euphoria - a sense of how great things will be when the war is over - and then filled the rest of the paper with progressive wishcasting.

My article, though, was just parody. You can read it here.
