I was listening to a BBC science podcast, and I noticed that instead of referring to the ongoing disaster as the "BP oil spill" they called it the "Gulf of Mexico oil spill." In fact, throughout the whole program, where they talked about the various scientific efforts at mitigating the spill, not once did they mention the name "British Petroleum."
Although it is nice that they’re trying not to draw attention to the worst thing that Britain did to the US since they burned down the White House.
Every day I take comfort in knowing that the petroleum companies are technological wizzes, and that a deep-sea oil disaster could never have happened.
