oil-covered foot in mouth

did you guys hear about the BP spokesman who referred to gulf residents affected by the life-ruining oil spill as the "small people"?

“We care about the small people. I hear comments sometimes that large oil companies, or greedy companies, don’t care. But that is not case in BP, we care about the small people.” (via)

how rude.

This evening, Mr. Svanberg issued a statement saying he was “very sorry” for speaking “clumsily.”

“What I was trying to say — that BP understands how deeply this affects the lives of people who live along the Gulf and depend on it for their livelihood — will best be conveyed not by any words but by the work we do to put things right for the families and businesses who’ve been hurt,” the statement said.

calm down, calm down... BOOM!!!

that doesn't look like paint to me...

This is what New York's rage against BP looks like.

All over town, BP gas station signs are being vandalized with brown paint - even atop 30-foot poles.

"It appears they put it inside water balloons and throw them at the sign," a police source said.

A paint remover who was cleaning blotches of brown paint off a sign on E. 125th St. said he had been to five other BP stations since late May.

"People are getting mad at BP," the worker said. "They are throwing paintballs. All of them are brown. The same paint. Maybe it is the same person." (via)

oil spill FAIL

according to the internet, BP's about to admit that they're never going to be able to stop the oil spill, and we should all just start getting used to it.
