You have named every second car I see here in Bulgaria. God these people have no taste.

Sorry, couldn't wait to wipe that smug smile off his face.

That is awesome! 👍

Apologies for the horrendous quality

Oh man... Shell creates an online ad generator, but it turns into an anti-Shell meme generator instead

I just realised that the "Let's Go Arctic" website isn't a part of the official Shell webpage. Take a look at this:

It seems to be a shell wanna be marketing tool gone sour. Take a look at the contacts

Love this sentence:

Everyone can appreciate how oil—the dinosaurs' parting gift to Man—can be used to help build a better future for everyone.

Amazing how easy that was to fake. No wonder phishing sites still work

You know, major corporations tend to have more than one web address, especially for promotions...It isn't 1995 anymore.

 

[terminator363]

meh. I still think it's fake.

Edit: By the way, did anyone play the kid's flash game? That can't be official, I mean that scream at the end

Apparently, it's a Greenpeace hoax:

True, but the site has some odd "redirects" that are almost always a sign of a fake.
The whois is registered in a way I have never seen a "real" ad campaign. Looks just like a fake.

And for a final LOL ,I can't believe that shell would host its site for drilling up the Arctic on an activist sever (https://mayfirst.org/hosting).

I think the "News" around the sites is saying it is the work of Greenpeace.

 

[Pupik]

Gee, finding out it's Greenpeace kind of ruins the gag. Seeing MayFirst (May Day/mayday?) on the WHOIS raised my eyebrow...

Oh well, still fooled me, especially when the ad-creator was "taken down".

It's registered by domain.com and not by shell, I'm willing to bet that this was not done by shell.

Edit: Tee'd.
