I had a bunch of the Lego Exxon sets as a kid. Then picked up a bunch of the promotional Shell kits for my kids. But I don’t think I’ve seen a Lego Shell promotion here in the US in at least 10 years.
But at least my kid’s Lego City has three gas stations (Exxon, Shell and the ever-present Octan) that allow market-based economic competition, rather than a corportist monopoly.
You know when I get home tonight, in honor of this, I’m going to build a Greenpeace boat with my kids then have a team of well-equipped French mercs sink it.
If I had the weight of Shell to toss around I would throw it at Lego. Just for giggles. I would also ridicule Greenpeace into the ground with my own videos. Maybe I’d just go ahead and break the contract with them, and pick up some Lego off brand, and hire some misfit conservative after poaching him from the Lego design team. I don’t know. It would be epic though.
Vengeance is rarely a good business practice. They are in the business to make money. That likely would cost them.
Since vegans can’t figure out that their belts came from cows, why would you think that these ding-dongs are any smarter?
Not when your product runs the world it isn’t. Like I said, poach their designers, cut the contract, invite a generic lego to sell at Shell. Happens all the time in the business world.
God Bless you, have a nice day.
To bow to a scam like that...
OOps!
Our own people fall for the same hoax.
When did common sense become a super power?
Die, hippies!
