Oh I love how she tried to take the dummy through the revolving door instead of the normal door in the center.

Definately fake - the text is fake (wrong typeface and doesn't have a date for instance), it has fake "video effect" and the audio is too clear.

Or the fact that there's audio at all. I have never seen security cameras with audio (although I suppose some may exist, I expect they'd be exceedingly rare).

Yeah this is definitely Shell's clumsy attempt at viral marketing. I guess it's working to a certain extent (it ended up here), but I didn't think it was funny enough to forward to anyone.

What I don't get is that they obviously knew they were filming it for this exact purpose. Why not just get a security camera and film it with that? It'd be so much more realistic.

Totally fake....no London woman would do that...only a woman from the South with aseveral of her teeth missing with an ex- boyfriend named Bubba would be that desperate....
