All BP did in Photoshop was put a few of images in on blank vdu monitors.

Or, rather than show blank screens at the crisis center, they instead put fake content-filled screens in the photo.


Quote:
The photo contains data suggesting it was taken in 2001, not July of 2010 as claimed on BP's Web site.

BP formally known as British Petroleum has yet to explain this. Hopefully, there were no evil intentions.

Were they blank screens or a bunch of BSODs?

laugh

Of course, the BSOD is entirely an appropriate symbol for CQ's (code for BP) reaction to this whole mess.

No that's what I mean by spin - putting an entirely sinister connotation on a non event just like those who tried to link BP to Megrahi.

No they've explained that the photographer was showing off his Photoshop skills.

At first I thought it was a commercial for a republican running for office. I expected the sequence of images to end with Obama.

The photographer didn't have any photoshop skills, otherwise it wouldn't have been noticed.
