Yes Men and Associates Blanket NY with Spoof of Times

custom_1226501626339_Front_Page_01.jpg

If you haven’t seen the news yet, The Yes Men, along with some as-yet-unnamed contributors and a huge flotilla of volunteers, blanketed New York this morning with over 1,000,000 “Special Editions” of the Times featuring a headline declaring that the war in Iraq was over. Some friends and I were supposed to be involved in distributing this in Los Angeles this morning, but last minute politics with the printer prevented them from getting the final printed pieces here in time. Too bad. At the very least, I would’ve loved to have a copy for myself!

11.04.08: The Electoral Map That Changed History

I’m still overwhelmed with glee about the results of last week’s presidential election, so I decided to throw together a quickie Zazzle shirt (and mug, because I’m a nerdy coffee mug collector) both to celebrate the victory of the politics of joy over the politics of cynicism and to commemorate the historic electoral map that brought us our first black president.

Yeah, We Did, Didn’t We?

“Are You There Jah, Its Me Ras Trent?”

I may be biased because of the five years I spent in the Trustfarian mecca that is Boulder, Colorado, but I think this “Rastafarian melody for the Quad” might be the funniest SNL Digital Short yet.
