The Yes Men Snafu Oil Giants at Largest Petrol Industry Trade Show in Canada
By Marisa Olson, Art Threat
Forget ethanol, the new alternative energy source is Vivoleum, a biofuel made from dead people. The protest/performance group the Yes Men presented their idea for Vivoleum on June 15 while posing as execs from ExxonMobil and the National Petroleum Council at Canada's largest oil trade show. To demonstrate the viability of this Soylent Green of biofuels, operatives of the Yes Men handed out candles, supposedly made of the substance, and showed a video of Reggie, the company janitor from whom the candles were made. -- Bennett Gordon
