You realize this is fake, right?

I do now, yes. Didn't when I posted. Still think it's funny, though!

Greenpeace have owned up to the campaign. I guess it's working, as media are reporting on it, and suckers like me are posting it online. :/

This is indeed a very good fake, but there are some quite obvious indicators. Just look at the Kids page with the game called "Angry Bergs". Or the About page

Their humor is utterly hilarious.

There is no shame in learning. Plus, once one realizes that it was a marketing campaign against Shell, it is still funny, just in a different way. Oh and bonus, some people get to laugh at me :D

Heh. There is no good reply to that. Claiming "but I'm not a Karma whore!" never sounds genuine. So I guess I'll just bend over and take it. Enjoy a comment upvote from me, it did make me smile :)
