lariekoek

Je moet al die lariekoek van hem niet geloven.

You shouldn't believe all the nonsense he spouts.

De beroemdste prank van The Yes Men is de stunt waarbij ze namens de chemiegigant Dow Chemical in 2004 voor de BBC-camera in het nieuws treden met de vreugdevolle mededeling dat Dow Chemical nu eindelijk, na twintig jaar, haar excuses aanbiedt voor de verschrikkelijke Union Carbide-ramp in Bhopal, India. Lariekoek natuurlijk. Maar wel lariekoek die werkt, want het bericht is amper afgegeven of het nieuws – door een slapende BBC naar buiten gebracht – is meteen the talk of the town.

2012, Martijn Haas, Bibikov for President: politiek, poezie en performance 1981-1982, Overamstel Uitgevers, →ISBN, page 180:

The most famous prank from The Yes Men is the stunt from 2004 in which they, on behalf of Dow Chemical, in front of the BBC-camera, brought the cheerful announcement that Dow Chemical now, after twenty years, finally apologized for the horrific Union Carbide-disaster in Bhopal, India. Nonsense obviously. But it was the kind of nonsense that works, because the announcement had only just been published – by a sleeping BBC – and it was right away the talk of the town.

We hebben het over het feit dat.. die dame erin geluisd is. Die zaak tegen haar was totale lariekoek, van begin tot eind. Pure.. onversneden.. lariekoek.
