Once upon a time, I couldn't wait to be 18. Before I knew it, nearly three decades had passed. This is me, being me, with all that being me entails.

Dear Tony Hayward, CEO of BP:

You apologized for saying you wanted your life back, realizing that it was probably the wrong thing to say in light of the ongoing tragedy that is the oil spill/spew/leak currently going on in the Gulf of Mexico. You didn't mean to upset so many people with your deepest desire for all this to go away so you could go back to your life as a rich SOB, while the rest of us are SOL.

Guess what, Tony my dear...? The only reason you apologized at all is because everyone was calling you on the carpet about your ill-timed remarks that showed what a truly heartless, thoughtless, greedy jerk you really are.

Meanwhile, eleven men who worked on the rig that exploded six weeks ago are still dead, millions of gallons of oil are still fouling up the Gulf and the adjoining coastlines in up to four states, and hundreds of people who depend on the waters of the Gulf for their livelihood still can't work because of all your Mickey Mouse efforts to bring this problem under control for good. "Top Kill"? Fail. That big box that was supposed to contain any more leakage? Fail. Any number of other ideas to fix this problem? FAIL!!! According to the Associated Press, if this capping of the line doesn't work, the only other alternative is a relief well, which is another eight weeks away from completion. So this could take the better part of three and a half months from the date of the explosion on April 20th to finally fix this, if the current idea fails.

That's not acceptable, Mr. Hayward. You know it, and I know it. And if I know it, then others know it, too.

I don't even live in Louisiana and I'm pissed off about this! I have friends who live there who are pissed off about this. People from all over are pissed off about this. And you just sit there and twiddle your thumbs. Maybe in your mind "BP" means "Big Profits".

Even though you've apologized now for opening your big yap, you are still a cold, heartless, egotistical, unfeeling moron who cares more for the bottom line that for the damage, perhaps irreparable, your company has caused.

And you still suck.

Thank you for your time. I know I'm not the only one with a few choice words to say.

  2. BP = Broken Pipe.

    I don't think the board will let him last too much longer. I bet he'll get the boot soon (with a 200 million dollar severance package).

  3. I am just glad that I do not work for BP's PR department right now. lol My friend coming back from Washington and stopped at a BP to just go to the bathroom and the owner said that she was the fifth customer of the day and it was 4 pm!!! I am glad that people are not supporting BP and I hope that there sales are suffering.
