What is happening?Answer: A culture jamming group called The Yes Men have made a habit of pretending to be spokespersons for corporations and appearing on various shows to make shocking confessions and announcements on behalf of these corporations. Here, Andy Bichlbaum, a member of the group is posing as a spokesperson for Dow and fully accepts responsibility for the Bhopal disaster. Nemani, Karthik, Matti Tapaninen, Mekie, Raghu, hotmanoj and Hari got it. Well done.
