Yay, wrong wording. :P
By promoting, I meant that OWI probably won't be featuring, be sponsered by or having anything to do with, business wise, with Shell. You can tell why I don't want them to be officially sponsered by Shell, right? It'd be bad considering OWI's attitude. Maybe it's a little silly 'cause there isn't any basis for it except for the storyline that they want to use for CS, but that's what I feared, after Micro$uck.
It's got nothing to do with making the CS storyline more believeable by having a well-known, real brand name in it. But actually, where did you all get that idea from anyway? Even if they were attacking Shell directly, it'd be bad to include a real product into thier movie, not only 'cause they'd be paying rights, but also 'cause of subliminal advertising. The storyline of CS may put most people off buying from Shell in future, but people are really stupid and may not make the link.
Lemme elaborate a bit more. You also have to consider that the storyline will probably (But I don't know for sure of course, this is just what I think :P) follow characters around and thier stories, while giving a message against the concept of corperate greed as a whole, rather than being against any single company. And this is why, IMO, It'd be bad if the Shell logo appeared in all this, 'cause of subliminal advertising, like I mentioned above.
Now do you get me? :P
