THE BP oil spill in the US Gulf is now a Nigerian scam:

From: Dudley Caruthers Esq (Barrister at Law)

Subject: BP Related Agreement Entitlement

E-mail:

Dear Friend

I am the private solicitor for Mr Tony Hayward, the esteemed Chairman and Chief executive of British Petroleum. My client has various personal and family related holdings of BP stock and options. Due to his faithful long standing service to BP the total value of his holdings amounts to in excess of 100m pounds sterling. Mr Heywood is a British citizen but it has been my sorrowful duty to advise him that his personal and family wealth is at great risk of being wrongfully confiscated by US authorities acting extra-territorially under special powers authorised by the US government and with the secret consent of a supine UK political and legal establishment.

Those Post Oil Spill BP Logos In Pictures

BP is embroiled in an oil spill in the gulf. Natural oil is leaking into the natural seas. Barack Obama will not rest until the oil spill is capped. He most likely won’t shower, either. Can sea sponges and the French flag save the US Gulf? The oil industry, pretty much the safest, most regulated industry in the world, is in the mire. So big is the disaster that Ashton Kutcher is travelling at 7mpg to the scene in his thoughts and a massive car. Others are creating images:

Ashton Kutcher’s NaviStar CXT Will Save The Gulf From BP’s Oil

THE BP oil spill in the Gulf is huge. And now Hollywood’s top man Ashton Kutcher is on it:

“If you could go back to the Republican National Convention and look the guys in the eyes that were saying, ‘DRILL, DRILL, DRILL,’ at the Republican National Convention, those guys, there you go … that’s what we got, like, we did it, we drilled drilled drilled,” said Kutcher …

“But at the end of the day the truth is, is like, we got to think about the world we live in,” says Kutcher. “I mean we have to be conscious. This is like not a right, it’s a privilege to be on this land and using its resources and we have to be smart about it.”

The picture is of Ashton’s car – one of them. It’s a NaviStar CXT. Does a whole 7 miles to the gallon. It will use up all that gushed oil in no time…

Gulf Oil Spill: Hopes Raised As Millions Of Sea Sponges Swim In

THE oil industry is so high tech. BP is looking to plug the leak in the Gulf with mud, golf balls, rope and scraps of rubber tire. And flags.

The hope is that French flags can be sued to mop up all the oily stuff. As we says it is high tech and well beyond our levels of understanding.

The flags might do – until the huge roll of Bounty kitchen roll is ready, or the sponges attack…

BP In Line To Win Oil Safety Award: Beyond Irony

BP is in the running for an award honouring safey in oil extraction:

BP, now under federal scrutiny because of its role in the deadly Gulf of Mexico explosion and oil spill, is one of three finalists for a federal award honoring offshore oil companies for “outstanding safety and pollution prevention.”

The winner of the award – chosen before the April 20 oil rig incident – was to be announced this coming Monday at a luncheon in Houston. But the U.S. Department of Interior this week postponed the awards ceremony, saying it needs to devote its resources to the ongoing situation resulting from the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion and fire.

Who came fourth?

Munitions And Explosive Dumps In The Gulf Tiggered The BP Oil Rig Disaster

THERE are numerous munitions and explosive dumps close to the April 20 BP-contracted oil rig disaster that is gushing crude into the Gulf of Mexico, according to an exclusive report on the US website Planet Waves.
