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.

    I was going to write something interesting and make an insightful and interesting first post, but then realised I had nothing to say on the topic... so this is my first post (which probably isn't first now that I've spent so long thinking about something interesting to write)

    socialism and fascism are near antonyms dude :) one is left like the Scandinavian States and the other right like the American Empire. and i agree American libertarianism has been molded into fascism itself.

    The sun never sets on the American empire. You better watch out. America's totalitarian leader is out to kick your European ass. Obviously you don't understand the concepts of "empire" or "fascism."
