BP Global PR

what’s the silver lining on the constant stream of oil flooding into the ocean? the constant stream of hilarious tweets coming from the unofficial twitter feed of BP-mockers, BPGlobalPR

apparently BP asked twitter to cancel the fake account, which twitter rightfully refused to do.

some of my favorite tweets:

“We are very sorry, but due to an increased amount of accidental immolations, all beach volleyball tournaments are now non-smoking. #bpcares”

“If you’ve ever wanted to take a dump in the ocean, now is your chance. #whynot? #bpcares”

“New solution: Everybody drive your cars into the gulf with your gas caps open! You’ll get a full tank and we’ll only charge $20 cash!”

a conversation tip

please don’t ever say “had a blast” around me. that’s a one-way ticket to me hating you.

also, don’t ever say “so-and-so passed away” around me either. just say “so-and-so fucking died.” otherwise, life sentence on hate row; no parole, no conjugal visits.

don't end up like this guy who said to me last fall, "yeah, dude, we had a blast when greg passed away!" i made him eat those words—for his last meal.

you MUST read this harrowing story about an auschwitz survivor, his aversion to hospitals, and the notorious Dr. Mengele.

“Sixty-five years ago, infamous Auschwitz doctor Josef Mengele removed Yitzhak Ganon’s kidney without anesthesia. The Greek-born Jew swore never to see a doctor again — until a heart attack last month brought his horrific tale into the open.”

i think this photo is hilarious enough to stand on its own but it’s worth having a little backstory.

As posted by Syracuse student Chris Pesto (shown) on his facebook page:

...I decided that because this woman thought it was okay to make me feel uncomfortable in my home, I would retaliate and make her feel just as uncomfortable, if not more. This woman was wearing a ankle-length corduroy skirt, which, as we all know, is a fashion nono. So, in order to make her feel uncomfortable, I stood next to her and held a sign that said Corduroy skirts are a sin! I don’t think I have ever drawn so much attention in my life. SO many people asked to take a picture with me, I got laughs, high fives and there were the few that even cursed off the woman standing behind me.

As I drew interest to what was going on with myself and the woman with the hateful sign, I started to draw a crowd that stood with me in support. Before I knew it I had 100+ people holding signs for gay rights asking people to honk their horns to support. I was interviewed by a news station, and more than 5 student organization papers, and the post standard of syracuse…

if i could i would stand on the other side of her with a sign that said “sweatshirts in public are a SIN.” one more blow to her fragile self-esteem and she might take up stripping for a living. FTW!

what does an inappropriate outburst during the president’s speech get you these days? for starters, your very own dedicated site and over $100,000 in donations for your opponent back in south carolina.

way to go, joe wilson, even your party members hate you.
