Vivoleum: ExxonMobil/Yes Men burn people for fuel
Activist-pranksters The Yes Men fanangled their way into delivering a keynote speech yesterday at GO-EXPO in Calgary, Canada’s largest oil conference.
“NPC Rep” Shepard Wolff presented a new oil product, Vivoleum, which is rendered from dead people. Press release headline was “EXXON PROPOSES BURNING HUMANITY FOR FUEL IF CLIMATE CALAMITY HITS”.
…he reassured the audience that in the worst case scenario, the oil
industry could “keep fuel flowing” by transforming the billions of
people who die into oil.
Photos and the PowerPoint (priceless). About 300 oilmen were in attendance.
