The Enron act

Members of the Zi-Activism group conducted a bit of guerrilla theater at January's Carnegie Mellon Technical Internship Expo and at Carnegie Mellon's H&SS/Heinz Job Fair in February.

According to its Web site, Zi is an activist organization that aims to use verifiable facts and analysis to counter misinformation and its role and effects on popular culture and government policy.

For these events, group members, primarily Carnegie Mellon students, set up an Enron booth and went about their business recruiting employees and subsequently shredding their resumes.

Apparently, job fair participants could spend a little more time on news Web sites. The Zi Web site reported "many visitors had not heard of Enron and talked to us in earnest about getting an internship!"
