DOW Chemical Apology for Bhopal Disaster:
This piece attracted me because I am familiar with the Yes Men's work and had heard about how they pulled this stunt, so I wanted to know more about how they managed to do it and what the repercussions were thereafter. It was interesting to me that the website that initially attracted the BBC was not intended to yield them such an enormous spotlight, which makes me wonder what the original webpage was for. It seems the nature of this project was highly improvised, from its conception to its execution when he had to fool millions of viewers that a large company is capable of showing remorse and compassion . Not everybody is faced or confronted with disasters like Bhopal who support DOW and when they learned that the information is false, it forces them to question why it has not been acted upon. If the Yes Men are willing to operate at such a high profile, they must have a steady knowledge of the legal barriers they can and can't cross. It seems like DOW would be hasty to sue after a commotion like that, especially since they dropped their stocks.
