Web-based whitewashing

The Yes Men create imposter websites as a means of appearing real and promoting their own ideas. They use web domains similar to those used by real companies to attract visitors and book gigs. For example, WTO.com hasn't been registered, so the Yes Men made that their mock site. As a result, many people used that site by mistake, booking the Yes Men for their conferences.

It's even more amazing to think the Yes Men have their own website, which features their mission statement, videos, and merchandise.

But even with that explanation, it was still hard to believe they aren't in jail. With their faces plastered all over the BBC and several thousand people witnessing their antics, surely by now they'd have been caught. But no, they still evade authority, getting asked to speak at events and using the media to spread their message.
