RAVE: BP Bull Busting

I just came across this absolutely brilliant article on the excellent site, Mother Jones. It's an interview between journalist Laura McClure and a mystery satirist who has set up a Twitter profile @BPGlobalPR. His tweets have been mercilessly hurling accusations and revelations at the juggernaut that is the BP PR machine in the wake of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill catastrophe.

A PR machine that has, as we all know, been a bloody fiasco.



The 'BP Cares' online campaign (sardonic logo above) is adbusting as it should be - taking aim at irresponsible corporations who wreck the environment and people's lives. Taking aim at those pervasive logos and brands that have become such a blight of modern life.

The interview between McClure and this mystery man is hilarious in that he plays the role of a 'BP PR' person in the Q&A.

It's irreverent and funny. Enjoy the read and follow this corporate vigilante on Twitter too.

BP, you so had all of this coming to you.
