BP Oil Commercial Spoof

http://www.britethorn.com
Can there be any doubt in anyone's mind that BP (British Petroleum) is currently at work on a new ad campaign to try and convince the public that they actually care about the environment and have a conscience about the environmental nightmare they let loose along the Gulf Coast?
BP is a British global energy company that is also the third largest global energy company and the 4th largest company in the world. As a multinational oil company ("oil major") BP is the UK's largest corporation, with its headquarters in St James's, City of Westminster, London. BP America's headquarters is in the Two Westlake Park in the Energy Corridor area of Houston. The company is among the largest private sector energy corporations in the world, and one of the six "supermajors" (vertically integrated private sector oil exploration, natural gas, and petroleum product marketing companies).[5] The company is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. The company has been convicted of two felonies for environmental crimes, including one felony for which BP pleaded guilty in connection with the Texas City refinery explosion in 2005 that caused 15 deaths, injured 180 people, and forced thousands of nearby residents to remain sheltered in their homes.
On 20 April 2010, the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded off the Gulf of Mexico,[42] resulting in excess of 200,000 gallons of oil (approx. 5,000 barrels) leaking every single day after a blow-out preventer designed to stop oil from flowing out during an emergency failed to activate. The spill was expected to continue until the blow-out preventer could be activated or another containment method implemented. Though 115 workers were evacuated from the site, eleven missing workers were presumed dead. On 28 April 2010, the US Coast Guard set fire to some sequestered portions of oil which had leaked from the uncapped well located five thousand feet below the Gulf of Mexico.

On 29 April 2010, the economic impact from the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion on Gulf Coast shrimpers led to a suit naming BP as well as Transocean and Halliburton as co-defendants. Two similar lawsuits were filed in U.S. District Courts in New Orleans and the adjacent Gulf state of Alabama on 28 and 29 April, respectively, accusing the companies of negligence

I find it very funny that I was not the only one that thought that. I said to myself (long before even knowing about this video) "but isn't oil just as natural as anything else?"

[britethorn]

@DarthCaniac Great minds think alike!

[njpay]

Wonderful work!

[britethorn]

@njpay Kind of you to say!

[Noah97]

[britethorn]

@Noah97 Ironic, ain't it!

Using the EPA's estimate of 647 quadrillion gallons of water in the Gulf of Mexico, and the estimated maximum spill volume of 203,000,000 (203 million gallons), for each gallon of oil in the Gulf, there are 31,213,592,233 (that's 31.2 billion gallons) of water sloshing about. The Mississippi River deposits more than 3.3 million gallons of water into the Gulf every second. Which means that the Mississippi dumps more water into the Gulf every 90 seconds than the well leaked in total.

If you think this is the kind of "advertisement" BP needs/could use, you are a moron.

@DarthCaniac its not natural for it to be floating , dissolved or washed up otherwise in the seas and waterways with such a polluting quantity . I get it but its not a point of humor . . end the video with good statement/s to that effect , would be more of value . Glad the maker spent the time .
