Spit Take Yes Men charged with trespassing after hoax at energy conference in Calgary

A pair of anti-corporate activists who pulled off a bizarre prank at a major energy conference in Calgary have been charged with trespassing.

Andy Bichlbaum, a member of The Yes Men, told the crowd the energy source of the future will be vivoleum, which he said was made from dead humans.

They passed out candles to the audience they said were made from vivoleum.

“When we started playing the video of Reggie the janitor who had been turned into fuel, people were either laughing or holding the candle at arms length and just having awful expressions on their faces."
