BP Apology - British Petroleum Apolgizes CNN - Gulf Oil Spill Disaster News Parody

BP Apology - British Petroleum Apolgizes CNN - On 20 April 2010, an explosion occurred on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, operated by BP. Eleven people were killed in the blast and oil began to leak from the ocean floor at a rate variously estimated to be between 5,000 and 100,000 barrels per day. Hayward, and BP in general, initially downplayed the spill, stating on 17 May 2010 that the environmental impact of the Gulf spill would likely be "very very modest" and calling the spill "relatively tiny" in comparison with the size of the ocean.By 27 May, Hayward changed his assessment, calling the spill an "environmental catastrophe" in an interview with CNN.

this is the worst video I have ever seen. most of the clips have no reference to what is being said. i dont understand how you were even trying to be funny. oil spill jokes are fine if you at least have a basic grasp of comedy. you obviously dont.

@joefish1988 Actually, you're right I don't know anything about comedy. My expertise lies in identifying dipshits. And you, are a freaking dipshit. You're a negative creep. You're a loser who likes to put other people down to make yourself feel good about yourself. You can dis people on YouTube all night long from your mama's couch, but nobody cares about your little negative thoughts. Nobody.

its beyond petroleum. it stopped being british petroleum when the majority ownership was AMERICAN. also the workers on the rig were AMERICAN. so the fact people are blaming an entire nation for something that was actually nothnig to do with them just shows the true stupidity of americans. hurr durr lets bring up a name from 1998 and blame it on that.

BP stands for British Pussies

@98raza20 ""put the blame on BP, who neither operated or owned the cause of the oil spill."" BP was in charge directly on the rig. They were rushing the process from start to finish. Their orders circumventing safe practices leading up to the blowout led directly to that blowout. BP has more safety violations than all the other major oil companies combined. A few years before this with their Texas refinery fire they were fined record amounts for safety violations. See the 60min report.

@evikjames I care about his little negative thoughts.. I actually suport him. This sucks

[symmetry08]

People believe or have big trust to government or big corporations that manipulate countries to save nations. Lost ability to think for themselves. In their subconscious mind believe that trusting someone would take problem away. Or some ordained one somehow would direct country into right path.

@98raza20 No shit? That's not what I just said twice? Yes, when you only take my comment into account, I'm the only one who brought up britain (duh). However, since I replied to something, I wasn't the one who brought it up. I agree that BP is not related to britain. I especially agree that it shouldn't have been brought up at all, but I didn't bring it up, I'm saying that it's stupid to bring it up because no major group thinks britain had anything to do with it. Are you dense?

@98raza20 Companies are not little children that can't tell the difference between right and wrong. We're talking about basic business ethics. This is the 21st century, and corporations need to be held accountable for their actions. You can place blame on the government for enabling the crisis to take place, but that doesn't deflect blame from what BP did to cause it. The construction of the rig was rushed and warning signs were ignored in the lead up to the explosion.

[98raza20]

@fosterslover A company is out their to make profit for their shareholders, and they're going to do that anyway they can. That is their no.1 priority & we shouldn't be so ignorant 2 believe that they wud think anyway differently. That means it is the governments job to make sure the industry follows environmental safety by regulating industry. The govt failed to do that, because the less regulations, more oil= more money at a larger risk. And BP didn't own or operate the failed equipment.

[fosterslover]

@98raza20

So it's the governments fault that a company blatantly disregarded safety in its business practices? I agree that stricter regulations should be put in place help to prevent such incidents from taking place, but a company should always be putting safety and environmental protection at the top of their priority lists. BP failed to do that and, in turn, affected the livelihood of millions and poisoned a vast expanse of marine habitat.
