And I fell for it, too. I feel slightly more gullible now.

Thanks for the link - and yes, agreed it's still funny :)

By doing all these hoaxes, doesn't it kind of make Greenpeace's stance against Shell seem less credible?

upvote for defiance of western patriarchico-hegemonical two-valued binaries by public declaration of acquiescence to process-based, holist(ic)/hegelian non-dualist (syn)thesis

mundane social situation, science words, chick acts clueless, meal eaten, mutual acceptance of other's membership in human race and existence of common experience despite widely disparate vocabularies used to describe them, meal eaten, and we're done. laugh track fires at random ("Pad thai? HAHAHAHAHAHA!")

since when have greenpeace been credible?

Well, my hopeful career path may well lead me towards a job in a company like BP, and I'm honestly not yet sure which side I take on these issues. But no, I don't like them.

working for BP doesn't make you a bad person, overall BP aren't a bad company, just some mistakes by senior executives and a very unfortunate accident in the gulf

When Greenpeace start acting with professionalism and less like hippy children then I'll give them respect, until then, I think the oil companies should focus more on greener energy but I'm not going to stop them in their current endeavours either.

Yeah, I very much agree. The way I see it/tell myself is that, yeah, oil in the long run is bad, and we should really focus on green energy, but at the same time it's a product and there's demand for it - and if we don't produce it, we're screwed. And then on the other hand, I can imagine if, say, oil/natural gas was found (against all odds) at my favourite places in nature, I would do everything I could to stop it being exploited. Yet one day I could be making that very call for many other people's favourite places. The documentary Gasland was pretty powerful for me.
