[Reader-list] Fwd: Nytimes spoof

[Monica Narula]

Dear all

there was some curiosity on the list about this project. I am sending  
(yet another) mail that reached me with details about the project.  
And i think many people will remember also the Yes Men's project that  
made it look like the Dow Chemical company was apologising to the  
victims of the Bhopal tragedy on BBC ...
