A Video That Will Ruin BP's Image on Planet Earth


Recommended Posts

I would just like to point something out that has been bugging me. Everyone is all for boycotting BP right now, which is understandable. But 90% of the BP gas stations in this country are franchised owned, which means they really have nothing to do with the corporate offices. By boycotting, you are just hurting a small business owner.

True, mostly. But all franchises have to pay a franchise fee, usually in the form of a percentage of generated revenue.

What makes me sad is that if you read comments on various sites concerning this disaster, one thing remains as a constant: People seem not only as though they could care less, but they even seem to want the ocean to die!?

Wow...Fuck humans.

You're still fucking over a small business owner though, who had nothing to do with the oil spill, but just happens to have a franchise.
