A recent quote from BP CEO Tony Hayward, who must be wearing very intensely rose-colored glasses:
"We're going to clean up the oil, we're going to remediate any environmental damage and we are going to return the Gulf coast to the position it was in prior to this event. That's an absolute commitment, we will be there long after the media has gone, making good on our promises."
1.) Maybe Tony will let me wave his magic wand and see if the Amazon rainforest restores itself to its former glory.
2.) "...we are going to return the Gulf coast to the position it was in prior to this event." Does that include resuscitating the thousands of animals killed as a result of this absolute catastrophe? Does that also include providing financial compensation to the families whose livelihoods will now be in jeopardy?
3.) It's not hard to spot PR language a mile away. It looks like it'll take more than a British accent to get people excited about what Mr. Hayward has to say.
Petrol-basted mahi-mahi, anyone?
