In order to dispel any misconceptions that we Yes Men might actually know what we're doing, we decided in May 2020 to at long last include this project from 2004. The video of this talk was impounded by the Secret Service—seriously, you can read about it here—so there's no video, and no pictures either for that matter; the featured image for this particular project is of one of the PowerPoint slides from the presentation.

It might not be a coincidence that we made this particular snafu—and a bunch of related ones—at a time when progressives felt very much on the losing side of history. That happened to us again during the Trump years, 2016-2020, when nothing we did seemed to work.
