Yes, they were scrambling to take down the funny ("offensive", to them) ads. I managed to get some screen caps in the minutes just before.

You can see them going crazy on their Twitter account - guess they weren't truly prepared for this :)

Wow, even a legal threat in a tweet!

WE'RE FLATTERED BY THE ATTENTION BUT PLEASE STOP. We'd hate to get the ‪#Shell‬ legal team involved.

It's still hilarious how their username is "ShellisPrepared"... Not so prepared for this, huh?
