Shell’ Wants Nigerians to Live With Its Oil Problems

It’s truly amazing how easy it is to pull the proverbial wool over people’s eyes. Witness these two videos from WorseThanBad.org, a group that aims to hold Shell accountable for spills in Nigeria. Last week, under the guise of promoting the Shell Live With It app, the group released a video that, to date, has received 25,000 views on YouTube and many comments that think the video is promoting a real Shell-branded app.

This week, the group released a second video that pokes fun at the first video’s commenters – who believed the video to come from Shell. As they say, this stuff just writes itself.
