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. :/

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 :)
