Look Ridiculous to Help the Yes Men Promote Their New Film

I readily admit to stealing this from craigslist ny, it looked fine as is and I completely agree, so here it is:

If you're in or near NYC, sign up to get to wear a YES MEN Survivaball and promote the opening night of the film, The Yes Men Fix the World.

What is a Survivaball, you say? From their website:

"Wait a second. What's a Survivaball?

The Survivaball is a self-contained survival suit that allows the richest people in the world to make it through the worst climate catastrophe. It is a high-concept, high-tech, fabulously expensive 'gated community for one.'™

"What's a Survivaball really?

"The Survivaball is an inflatable costume. It looks stupid. Really stupid. It is designed to get attention - stupid amounts of attention. We (the Yes Men) first used a Survivaball to impersonate Halliburton at a Catastrophic Loss conference in Florida. We gave a speech about Halliburton's plan to save the rich and screw everyone else, and unveiled this new technology. It worked so well to get media attention for the issue, that we decided to take the show on the road, and to breed these balls like rabbits."

You, too, can have a great time looking ridiculous, irritating people and improving awareness of catastrophic climate change while earning free movie tickets!
