Voices from the Gulf: Florida Business Owners

Rick Scali and his wife manage vacation rental homes in Destin, Florida, and rely on tourists to make a living. They were completely booked in 2010 — until the oil spill occurred. BP made up the Scalis' lost revenue and hired teams of workers to clean the beaches. Now, the Scalis are welcoming back visitors and know that the beautiful Destin beaches can "give you the best vacation ever."

Out of sight out of mind. That is the motto of the rich people in this world. Just because we dont see the oil doesnt mean its not still there. Poison didnt fix it sorry guys. These chemicals just broke up the oil small enough to slip into small creatures, mutate DNA, and enter the ecosystem. Your not innocent. You know what your doing. We work our asses off for you guys to keep your cushy lives and ruin the planet. THANKS.

I think we all agree we need to shut down the gulf oil wells and ramp up frac'ing big time. Save our oceans !

[naturemanmatt]

Well then if tourism is back why do you need to make these commercials? The damage is done and just because we can't see it anymore doesn't mean it's not affecting us. All the oil is settled at the bottom of the ocean and it will take centuries for it to get back to normal.

These film's really do help us sleep at night!

When one lies, they try just as hard to continue supporting those lies. If you were so honest, you wouldn't need these videos.

BP oil continues to gush from the sea floor, but they tried to hide it with 1.84 million gallons of a well known carcinogenic chemical called COREXIT, that breaks up the oil and causes it to sink to the ocean floor.

BP, you are the epitome of greed, lying, and environmental devastation.

Take my thumbs down message and stick it in your ass.

The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Americans With Disabilities Act, and prior Supreme Court cases, require that the new fund set up to compensate Plaintiff Steering Committee attorneys, that withhold 6% of settlements, as ordered by Judge Barbier, BE JUSTIFICATION for these attorneys to provide EXTENDED representation and advocacy to disabled claimants! Please bring this to the attention of others.

You know since that "oil spill" and the corexit 9500 cleaning agents that BP used to clean the gulf, people have had severe respiratory problems here. I live on the ocean in Navarre Beach, Florida and I recently got diagnosed as having a severe obstruction of the lungs (an issue I have been having for more than a year and a half) and ironically my test results show me as having the lungs of a 84 year old, call it a conspiracy but I don't smoke and I live on the gulf of mexico where the oil hit.

All I get is BP gas because BP actually is trying to get oil from the Gulf! I'd take 10 deepwater horizon spills if it meant we could rid of terrorist drilled Saudi blood oil!

i wouldnt mind if a florida gulf coast tourism company made this ad, but when its made by a multinational corporation thats all about making profits and that caused the destruction in the first place, i just wont buy it from them
