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.
