I'm watching another BP Gulf commercial.
This time they found a black woman from New Orleans to speak for the rich old white men from England. Wow, that's surprising! Did your "introduction to public relations 101" intern come up with that?

Hey, BP! Stop wasting money on ad campaigns and give it to the people in the Gulf!

1. I turned down a post production job doing these ads a few months ago.
Now I'm out of business. :(

3. Shit.
Sorry to hear that. As slimy as the ads are, I hate to see a Dem go out of business.

5. Thanks
I posted a thread here asking if I should do it. Responses were about 50/50.

I just could not bring myself to do it.

I'm pissed that there are so few choices.

Thanks again. :hi:

2. ARCO is also a BP company...
Here in San Diego, the gas pumps in ARCO stations sport little bumper sticker size signs that says, A part of BP.

4. If they give a few poor Gulf people money every poor Gulf person will want money.
They want to keep their money.
