Fun fact - With the ongoing drama of the oil spillage n the Gulf of Mexico, thanks to the incompetence of BP, a fake BP Public Relations Twitter account has not only been set up, but attracts a massively larger amount of followers than genuine BP Twitter accounts.

But then again, with comments like those being submitted, is it really any surprise??? Here's a few prime examples:

@bpTerry just asked a scientist why there are so many crows in the south. Turns out they are seagulls. It was AWKWARD. #bpcares

What a gorgeous day! The ocean is filled with the most beautiful rainbows! #yourewelcome #bpcares

I've gotta say, at night the gulf really doesn't look that bad. #bpcares

Of course, bp cares about the fishing industry as well. Now, all tuna from the gulf coast comes pre-packaged in oil. #you'rewelcome #yum

Someone just suggested canceling our Memorial Day BBQ in light of recent events. That person, of course, was swiftly fired. #bpcares

They want to fine us $4,300 for every barrel of oil spilled? Umm, we're not spilling barrels, the oil is going directly into the gulf. DUH

New solution: Everybody drive your cars into the gulf with your gas caps open! You'll get a full tank and we'll only charge $20 cash!

It's official, the phrase "All the tea in china" has been replaced with 'All the oil in the gulf" - Can't wait for the royalties!

The ocean looks just a bit slimmer today. Dressing it in black really did the trick! #bpcares

@qwarto - We are aware of the health risks facing clean up volunteers, which is why BP is offering each one a free pack of cigarettes on us.

Jesus walked on water and soon you can too! (Please pray for BP, we're losing a lot of oil).
