Exxon's PR firm using cheap-looking YouTube video to bash Gore
mongabay.com
August 3, 2006
A Washington, D.C., public relations and lobbying firm whose clients include oil company Exxon Mobil may be responsible for a cartoon video that makes fun of Al Gore according to an article in today's issue of The Wall Street Journal.
The video, titled "Al Gore's Penguin Army," portrays the former vice president as a "sinister figure who brainwashes penguins and bores movie audiences by blaming the Mideast crisis and starlet Lindsay Lohan's shrinking waist size on global warming."
An investigation into the identity of the video's maker lead the Journal to a computer registered to DCI Group, the PR firm that works with Exxon. DCI Group and Exxon denied involvement.
