Fake Shell Video Followed by Fake Shell Lawsuit Over Video

Shell, it seems, is being plagued by activists. And the media outlets (and that includes bloggers) that cover Shell, should be extra careful about rushing out news today. As Gawker's Adrian Chen reported earlier, a video supposedly shot at a party thrown by the oil giant turned out to be a hoax. Also a hoax? A Shell news release we received not half an hour ago saying that the company was going to sue the parties responsible for the hoax video.
