Knowing what I know now

I posted A Gentle Reminder: Narnia is Not a Real Country on January 4, 2006
A financial new agency reported that Narnia representative Susan Aslan walked out of World Trade Organization talks. The story was picked up by several other news agencies.

The Lion, The Witch and The World Trade talks
(from The Age)


A couple weeks ago I watched a documentary about The Yes Men who
are a group of culture jamming activists who practice what they call "identity correction" by pretending to be powerful people and spokespersons for prominent organizations. They create and maintain fake websites similar to ones they want to spoof, and then they accept invitations received on their websites to appear at conferences, symposia, and TV shows. - Wikipedia

The documentary focuses on them poses as the World Trade Organization. I wonder if they were the ones behind the Narnia "talks"?
