British Petroleum says to hell with public relatons, we’re gonna screw everybody we can…

It’s official. “Making things right,” has been declared dead. The priest has been to the hospital, performed last rites and was then thrown through the glass doors and spit upon by current British Petroleum CEO Bob Dudley, who whipped around, his black duster flapping lazily in the fall breeze, before he strode back into the hospital.
