I suppose right about now you are sick of hearing any more of BP’s BS. Whether it is buying google rankings or not telling their douchebag CEO to keep his petty thoughts to himself – I know one thing’s for certain: BP’s PR disasters have just about rivaled their environmental one.
Well, now they have another disaster on their hands and this one is of the Photoshop variety…
Someone over at AMERICAblog News noticed that something was amiss in the photo of the control room posted to BP’s website (above). The photo shows a bunch of guys sitting around looking at monitors of oil spill footage. I guess BP was trying to show that they were just sitting there helplessly watching oil gush into the Gulf like the rest of us? I dunno. Anyway, looks like they weren’t even doing that because the photo was faked. Yep, that’s right! BP couldn’t even get a legitimate photo of guys sitting in a room watching oil spill footage on monitors. Those photos must be hard to come by at BP. Check out the closeup below – you can easily see the halos – and by halos I don’t mean the angelic kind, I mean the Seriously, you couldn’t even spend the 10 minutes it would take to do this properly? You are making it THAT obvious you don’t care? Why don’t you just kick us all in the nuts while you’re at it? kind…
The worst kind of halos.
AMERICAblog News has the complete rundown of the disasters found in this Shop, so check out the link to the enlargement above and see if you can spot them all before heading over there. It will be like a very, very sad game of Where’s Waldo?
BP has admitted that the photo was faked and that “… there had been no ill intent behind the alteration, and that the photographer had simply been showing off his Photoshop skills.”
Um, yeah, or LACK THEREOF.
