When we found the looks-totally-Shell-branded arcticready.com website, which includes a build-your-own Let’s Go Arctic advertisement, we thought it was real. Turns out, it isn’t. But, it’s still amazing.

Alice Laussade writes about food, kids, music, and anything else she finds to be completely ridiculous. She created and hosts the Dallas event, Meat Fight, which is a barbecue competition and fundraiser that benefits the National MS Society. Last year, the event raised $100,000 for people living with MS, and 750 people could be seen shoving sausage links into their faces. And one time, she won a James Beard Award for Humor in Writing. That was pretty cool.
