Shell Oil PR Fail is a Phony

Earlier today, the video above popped up on our Twitter feed (h/t @MattCherenson) with a question of whether it was a fake. We were in touch with Shell and learned from spokesperson Kayla Macke that it is, in fact, a phony. According to Macke, this isn’t one of their events.

The video was meant to show a celebration gone awry, with a miniature oil rig gushing “oil” at a party goer. According to the description, the party is for new rigs that would be drilling in the Arctic. Gawker
