Igor Vamos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Igor Vamos (also known as Mike Bonanno) is one of the leading members of The Yes Men, a culture jamming activist group. Their exploits in "identity correction" are documented in the film The Yes Men. Known as Frank, he is a co-founder of RTmark. He is a winner of a 2003 Guggenheim Fellowship for his film about an abandoned military base in Wendover, Utah.

Vamos earned an undergraduate degree from Reed College in Studio Art.

His first successful action was to replace the voice of Barbie dolls with that of G.I. Joe dolls: The soldiers ended up saying "want to go shopping?", while Barbies said "dead men tell no tales"!
