Und eben kam die Auflösung des Themas: Es handelte sich um das erste Ergebnis des Yes lab (http://www.theyesmen.org/lab), bei dem eine ad-hoc Gruppe namens "Nigerian Justice League (NJL)" geschaffen wurde. Also wenn das das erste Ergebnis eines workshops ist, dann bin ich echt auf die Masterarbeiten gespannt! Die Sache war noch sehr leicht zu durchschauen, aber es ist dennoch bereits bemerkenswert professionell.

"Our press release revealed the truth: that there is a decent way forward, instead of the continual deceit we get from them." Shell's public relations staff quickly and energetically moved to contain the fallout from the fake release. On Tuesday, Shell attempted to eliminate the Justice League's spoof Shell website by complaining that it was a "phishing scheme" to the upstream internet service provider. Shell then sent a threatening legal letter to the Danish internet provider hosting the site. In a related story, the Financial Times (a blog of which, incidentally, was duped by the fake release) refused to run a hard-hitting advertisement, created and paid for by Amnesty International, that called for action against Shell for its Niger Delta legacy. Like the fake release, the ad was timed to coincide with Shell's May 18 AGM. "For now, Shell's legal threats are bearing ripe fruit," said Esmée de la Parra of the Nigerian Justice League. "But they can't keep blustering their way to destruction forever. Eventually, people will have had enough. For the sake of the planet, let's hope 'eventually' is very soon."

"CSR-ND means planning not just for short-term profits, but for what actually matters, including the viability of the planet itself." Yes! fra link: http://www.shellcsr.com/
