Shell criticised over adverts compared to A Clockwork Orange imagery
Original: Shell is now running ads that look like the sex offender brainwashing films from A Clockwork Orange. You can't fool us,
Commenters are accusing Shell of running advertising that resembles the disturbing brainwashing scenes from Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange, suggesting the company is trying to manipulate public perception. Critics online say audiences are not fooled and link the ads to broader anger at Big Oil, the climate emergency and recent US political developments.
Why now: Frustration with oil company advertising and climate politics has made Shell's latest campaign a target of mockery and suspicion.
