BP Buys "Oil Spill" Search Term

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the can't-say-i'm-surprised dept.

technology_dude found an unsurprising but amusing little story that BP is buying keywords on Google and Yahoo for things like "Oil Spill" to help spin some damage control. I guess if you can't plug your spill, the least you can do is try to clog the flow of information.

    You fail to understand that BP has been doing major spin control since day one. Even now BP controls who has access to the beach cleanup.

    moron.
