Backlash against Shell, from their own consumers
« on: June 16, 2012, 12:12:41 am »
Short version, Shell opened up their advertising space to folks online to try and get some new ads on TV.

It went about as well as expected.  Here, enjoy.

I'm not too happy with shell myself, because one of the ones up here has been dumping waste into one of the rivers and is facing a hefty fine. Of course, the fine's not large to them, so they'll probably just pay it and keep on dumping into the peace river

You'd think that, eventually, PR departments would realize that turning their jobs over to the internet will end in disaster. And by disaster, I mean hilarity used to mask a giant "fuck you".

This is why I love the internet.

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

Let's face it, Shell has it coming, as do so many other companies. Is there a way for us to do this to any other company that dicks the consumer over the way Shell has?

Shell? Yeah, I have problems with them. Pretty sure some other people do as well.

I actually remember and participated in that one, much lulz.

Here's one from the Shell one that I made:

Judging from the "Just For Kids" section...

Probably a Poe.

I'm surprised Shell hasn't taken the site down and tried to cover it up (or pretend it didn't happen).

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Corinthians 13: 4-7

Probably because it'd only make things worse for them

Yeah. Shell should try and at least learn from the mistakes of others.

(Just read about the Tahoe disaster on Cracked. Yay.)

I don't care if it's a Poe or not.  I couldn't resist the chance to make this.
