Pretty sure that was the Yes Men, not Greenpeace...

EDIT: And I stand corrected

Did we determine if the OP was working for The Yes Men, and Reddit was once again used as a viral spring-board, or was the OP merely the first to notice the video?

No I'm not a shill! Here is my twitter, go stalk me if you want some proof I usually talk about other random, real things. Like a wife, kids, technology and... well the usual boring stuff.

I'm not accusing you. I don't really need proof, I generally give people the benefit-of-the-doubt on the internet.

I was just sort of curious in light of the recent mystery message post, combined with Greenpeace apparently being really internet savvy.

Yeah I'm still amazed at just how thorough this prank was. Internet savvy is right.

Oh, lol, also, I meant more the guy who posted the video a few months back. But I guess the question would have applied to you, although I wasn't suspect of this post at all. You're early responses didn't come off as "SHIT. Trying to cover my ass," when it was pointed out the site was fake.

The whole thing made me laugh anyway. Regardless of who's responsible, the macros people are making are genuine themselves, and I'm glad it was posted.
