They explained that the photographer was showing off his Photoshop skills!!!!!

OMG. THAT is the funniest statement ever.

An ocean is getting filled with oil and BP formally known as British Petroleum is allowing a photographer to show off his lack of photoshop skills with a picture of their command centre.
And you repeat this statement without a laughing smiley. km, you are one funny guy.

Have you ever worked in a large organization? Try 80,000 employees. That you think BP has one gigantic evil brain that controls all of the 80,000 to think up evil stuff like photoshopping is some funny stuff.

No, it's just amateurish behavior by a large multinational corporation exposed just so it can try to put some false positive spin on their response to this mess.

As a matter of fact I have worked for a large organization and in that organization there were supervisors and managers in charge of departments. They were accountable for what came out of that department. If the issue was beyond their responsibility it went to their higher up and so on and so on.
This was a picture of BP formally known as British Petroleum's command centre for the whole world to see during one of the worst crises in U.S. history. Sounds pretty important. One would think they might want to avoid any further untoward sentiment by being honest in what they present to the public.

BTW, evil was their word.

No, you still have this problem wherein you think everything that a large corporation does is known by "the large multinational corporation." But I didn't even see the link. They actually photoshopped some stuff onto screens in the situation room so it looked like they were turned on when they were not?

Oh, heavens, the evil. I'm starting to think KM is right that this incessant one way harangue of BP really is anti-British sentiment. But he may be wrong there. It is more just anti-foreign, anti-KM venting. So you all hate KM. Why don't you all start one long thread of why you hate KM and leave the news out of it?

Did anyone notice they capped it a couple days ago? Anyone post kudos to that or is that impossible here because you might think KM wins a point?

You all post the very latest piece of dirt on BP and harp on it no end. In a way you are all like Fox News and BP is your Sherry Sherrod. As long as the impression of the posting is anti BP then it's fine no matter if it is correct or not. Go back and look at the drivel that is posted here. A disgruntled fired employee gets play here and local Louisiana news. Where are the photos of evil that he took?

You all could be right. BP is evil and plans on world domination. My own personal view is that the oil industry along with the oil regulators are evil. But even if BP is the totality of all that is evil in the entire world you all sound like a bunch of one note harpies with pretty stupid evidence of evilness.

You've completely changed my mind. BP is a benevolent all caring corporation who is never, ever at fault for anything that it has done wrong. Defending the way this corporation has handled this from before the explosion and fire and "leak" is the way to go.

No one here has stated anything that would lead me to believe that there is any hatred directed at km or the British people. You're starting to sound like you believe any negative statement amounts to hatred (where have I heard that before?).

Yes, we did applaud the capping of the well, but with a degree of skepticism that it would hold and wonderment that it took so long to achieve considering the bumbling management at BP.

Now that is just silly. (But, who really knows).

In the meantime I would really appreciate action becoming a huge corporation responsible -partially or wholly - responsible nonetheless, for the devastation caused by this accident. They have not been very impressive to date.

It's really generous of you to make the time to stop by and adjust the collective moral compass. It has to be a long trip from up there to down here.

A company that has been found responsible for absolutely nothing, a company that has not had its day in court, only in the court of public opinion which is fueled by the desire of the oil industry to pin the entire rap on a single company and a few mistakes, a company that has nonetheless paid out over 200 million dollars on claims.

Everyone it seems knows exactly what happened on that oil rig. That the regulators and the other companies out there made no mistakes. It's all BP's fault. Just like we knew Sherley Sherrod is a racist and Saddam has WMD. Because the internet told you so and that you heard what you wanted to hear.

I would at least try to fake some skepticism and not be so 100% certain about your beliefs. It either looks like religion or you just don't like someone.

And this comment makes the horse you are on a manageable size? (Besides not making much sense.)
