Like everyone else, it’s Al Gore’s turn to be spoofed on YouTube. While Exxon and its PR firm, Washington-based DCI Group, deny having anything to to with it, the creator of Al Gore’s Penguin Army, a video that spoofs Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth, 29-year-old “Toutsmith” was found by the Wall Street Journal to be using an email address that tracked back to DCI Group. He would not tell the Journal who he was or why he made the video. Oh now let’s see. Al’s movie slams oil companies. Exxon in an oil company. Nah. There’s no connection there.
