Friends of the Earth Netherlands
As Shell Oil's "Chief Facade Officer" explains how their new app will help those victimized by the oil disaster in Nigeria, the extent of the damage becomes apparent, and appalling. The joke is played to the full, leaving the viewer to hunt a little to learn that this is a part of Friends of the Earth Netherlands' campaign about the oil disaster in Nigeria, Worse Than Bad. Dark, scathing humor isn’t just leveled at Shell Oil, it pokes fun at CSR culture in general. This biting commentary is effective because the absurd humor is spot on.

Visit Shell-Apps.com for an interactive timeline of Shell’s history in Nigeria, including oil spills, annual company profits, changes in leadership, and promises made for environmental and social responsibility. And help spread the word about a situation worse than bad.

It is brilliant! The film features David Rasche of Sledge Hammer.
