BP acknowledges it posted on its website an altered photo that exaggerates the activity at its Gulf oil spill command center in Houston.The picture posted over the weekend showed workers monitoring a bank of 10 giant video screens displaying underwater images.
Spokesman Scott Dean says Tuesday that two screens were blank in the original picture and a staff photographer used Photoshop software to add images.
[…]He says the photographer was showing off his Photoshop skills, and there was no ill intent.
Uh-huh.
It may not be working as hard as it can to salvage the Gulf, but BP is putting a lot into salvaging its bottom line.
Gas could become cheaper at some BP pumps after the oil company agreed to measures meant to help distributors and station owners offset a consumer boycott against BP fuel that was sparked by the out-of-control spill in the Gulf of Mexico.[…]
The cash back amounts to 2 cents per gallon along the Gulf Coast and 1 cent per gallon in the East and Midwest, according to several dealers contacted by The Associated Press.
They might want to consider giving the consumers cheaper gasoline, if they really want to counter boycotts. But then, I’m no marketing genius.
You know what they say: You have to spend money to make money.BP Plc’s spending to lobby Congress in the second quarter rose 6.3 percent from the first as the company dealt with the fallout from its gushing Gulf of Mexico oil well.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
