Don't you LOVE these oil company commercials about the environment?

[spanone]

It's like Eric Rudolph talking about women's right to choose. Lying motherfuckers.

1. You betcha!

Especially when we know Exxon hasn't paid ONE RED CENT of the $12 million ? they were ordered to pay due to the Exxon Valdez.........let me repeat, NOT ONE RED CENT!!!!!!!!!!

2. that is one of my pet peeves

I absolutely HATE the one with the baby elephant dancing in the rain forest :grr:

[Moochy]

3. Greenwashing my favorite!

BP Beyond Petroleum? yeah right.

Attack your opponents strength. These Oil companies deflecting criticism by greenwashing themselves. A glitzy greeenwashing ad campaign is a helluva lot cheaper than actually moving "Beyond Petroleum."

4. cue sappy Yanni-esque music, camera pans over a beach at sunset...

Exxon-Mobil: Doing the absolute minimum required by Federal law...

5. Chevron saving butterflies

British Petroleum "looking beyond petroleum".

Big oil is where Junior learned his ropes - just call everything the exact opposite of what it is. No one will think you had the gall.

6. BP's new flower logo

The one that gets me going is the false dichotomy "Do you want clean air or a car?" I want both, how about you?

7. They sound like Summer's Eve ads to me

[skids]

8. Comcast -- focused on community.

Other than the oil companies I saw one that really got me fuming.

It was a girl talking really fast about how she turned to activism to prevent toxic dumping by a company, got the company closed, and then the community couldn't pay for medical expenses due to the toxins because they all lost their jobs which were working for that same company.

The gist: "skip activism, just donate to the local blood drive."

Like a nice, well behaved farm animal.

:grr:

9. GE's dancing baby elephant still makes me scream
