Let's Do This Every Summer!

First, BP apparently has a magazine called Planet BP. Interesting. The title invokes an entire planet controlled by BP. I hope there are recipes for "chocolate food mousse" and centerfolds with oil soaked endangered species. Sounds like a good read.

Its latest issue features a piece about the big upside to the oil spill -- hotels for cleanup workers!

“Much of the region’s [nonfishing boat] businesses — particularly the hotels — have been prospering because so many people have come here from BP and other oil emergency response teams,” another report says. Indeed, one tourist official in a local town makes it clear that “BP has always been a very great partner of ours here…We have always valued the business that BP sent us.”

Piss off, BP.
