Don't spend money on these! Spend money to REPAY THOSE WHOSE LIVES WERE DESTROYED BY YOUR OIL SPILL.

I feel oily just watching this.

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.

My brothers and sister and I traveled from north and central Texas to the Delcambre Shrimp Festival in August 2011. It was wonderful. I am so proud of the people of Delcambre. Some are kin, some are not. They always 'come back' in a spectacular way from any damage done to their town and their livelyhood. Because I have seen this area with my own eyes, I can know that things are okay.

This is not a cover-up, but rather promotion of a small town resource and culture...seafood. Get over your conspiracy theories and enjoy some fresh boiled crabs!

My Gulf: Flammable liquid.

Yep! When will people realize that the MY GULF campaigne is from BP and they're telling it like it is, it's not my gulf, it's not your gulf anymore. As long as there are folks like Thomas saying everything is beautiful, BP will continue to not finish the job they are responsible for and will continue to own our Gulf of Mexico. BP clean up the gulf and set up a fund for the sick. Tainting us with crude oil and dispersant. These ads are very sad for the USA.
