Technique Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Has anyone else seen the nationally advertised BP commercial? I saw it during game 6 of the NBA finals. It makes no sense to be wasting their money running a nationally televised ad, when the damage is a local thing. It seemed like more of a ploy to get the rest of the country off their back.

Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and all those dipsh*ts are completely out of their minds. Seriously Fox news will pick at Obama over anything just recently saying "He was all dressed up on the beach" when he was only wearing slacks and a button up shirt and tie in which the tie was lose and his sleeves were rolled up.... lol what the f*ck is the president suppose to wear? Swimtrunks, wifebeater and chacos? Fox news is not news at all. It's basically the 4th branch of the government and just a complete load of sh*t. Infact the media in general is the 4th branch of the government. People just don't realize how controlled it is to keep people in the dark and lie on a daily basis.

That's what you get for using american equipment and workman i guess lol.[/quote'] You can go on blaiming only the US for this failure but BP was the root cause of what went wrong. Yeah the blowout preventer failed but if they weren't so concerened with cutting cost at the expense of safety in the first place it wouldn't have happened. "The day of the explosion, engineers reportedly argued over whether or not to remove dense drilling mud from the well bore, replacing it with much lighter sea water. Normally this step is taken only after a second cement plug is hardened in the piping, a process that takes several hours. Until this plug is fully installed, heavy mud is the first line of defense against kicks and ?blowouts,? when oil and natural gas surge up the bore to the rig platform. The decision was taken to replace the mud before plugging the well, even though this would increase the chances of an explosion?and even though the operation failed a critical pressure test the same day, BP and Transocean executives admitted to the House Energy Committee. This clearly reckless decision to press forward was very likely done to protect BP?s profit interests, both because it paid rig owner Transocean an estimated $500,000 per day for use of Deepwater Horizon and its crew, and because it was anxious to bring the new well into active production." http://www.wsws.org/articles/2010/ma...spil-m14.shtml You can read the whole article here^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2below Posted June 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 MSNBC is just as far left as FOX is right. This may be true, but MSNBC actually has validity to some points they make; whereas, FOX just spews out slander in hopes of igniting the fires within the extremely religious, right-winged nutjobs.. and it always works as seen by these Tea Party shenanigans.
