Darned cockwombles.
You know what - I've only just realised that there are multiple Yes Men films on that site - http://www.filmsforaction.org/watch/the_yes_men/ - this is the one I watched, rather than the one I gave the link to. I was sitting reading your description, and wondering how my memory of the film had got(ten) quite that bad. 'It's almost like he watched a whole different film. Ohhhh....'
But that's fantastic - means there's a whole other feature length film for me (and you) to enjoy.
The one bit of the later film I have seen is the Bhopal interview, on youtube. Agree that what the newsreader said kind of missed the point of the whole exercise; as you say, it's the opinion of the local people that's the important one.
PS I'm always unsure of what Chris Morris' politics are. His stuff usually circles around politics, but his primary inclination seems simply to puncture pomposity/disingenousness wherever it occurs
