The "SurvivaBall" is a "self powered, self cooling, self heating, self-hydrating, total recycling, emergency life sustaining device" designed to protect people from whatever climate change brings, whether its hurricanes, drought or rising sea levels. The inflated rubber suit is a satirical prank thought up by The Yes Men. In September 2009, the group passed out "SurvivaBall" fliers on Wall Street in New York City.http://gawker.com/5360711/the-yes-mens-next-stunt
There are scheduled demonstrations (which are actually the show times for the mockumentary film The Yes Men Fix The World) for the "SurvivaBall" scheduled in NYC between October 7 and October 20, 2009.http://www.survivaball.com/demoschedule.phphttp://www.filmforum.org/films/yesmen.html
