I can't believe somebody got away with this...

This is the text to a lecture given by Hank Hardy Unruh. Mr. Unruh is a member of the Yes Men who maintain a website (www.gatt.org) that parodies the WTO's website. He was invited to give a lecture at a textiles conference at Tampere University of Technology in Finland (they thought he was really a representative of the WTO, and did not realize the gatt.org site was a parody.) The speech was recieved by aplause from the audience, and praised throughout the day by the master of ceremonies.
It really is one of the funniest things I've read in a long time. I bow in reverance to the humongous gonads of the Yes Men.
