BP Idiot CEO Yells At Cameramen Filming His Massive Oil Pools

by Jim Newell  

Well isn’t this fun. The moron tea-sipping CEO of Britishe Petroleumeshire, Tony Hayward, decided to take a Very Serious stroll along the terrifying, ruined oily death-beaches of the Gulf Coast, and then yelled “GET EM OUTTA THERE” at independent media reporters filming the awful, profit-destroying scene. Apparently he only “invited” the cameras for a press conference later, hundreds of yards away, with no oil in sight. Well, sorry to tell you mister fancy Lobsterback queen-fucker, but here in ‘Merka we just show up whenever and go nuts. [America Blog]

I’d like to force-feed him a big heaping spoonful of that oil/sand/sea water/dead animal mixture.

But somehow Obama and Salazar, not BP, are now at fault for this oil disaster. And Bobby “The Fed Gov’t is trying to control our lives but we want them here now taking care of all this” Jindal is a hero.

OK. Last one in the water is a rotten … Oh.

JMP May 25, 2010 at 5:00 pm

You can almost hear him weeping at that horrible sight; all that beautiful, precious oil ruined, contaminated by that awful nature.

Problem solved! I dedicate all profits from this idea to the Wonkette/Trucknutz Foundation:

[re=584891]Doglessliberal[/re]: Well buuuuuuuut you think they’d kind get decider-y for this thing instead of just repeating saying “BP is bad but we’re gonna leave ‘em in charge anyways,” right? I mean, this is the competent Presidential administration, right? I dunno, maybe we should just drop a coupla nukes on the Gulf region and be done with it, but this general reaction from the gov’t to the oil spill is feeling kinda “heckuva job”-by…

imissopus May 25, 2010 at 5:06 pm

Meh, underwhelming. Particularly that second clip when it seemed like he just wanted the cameras to get out of his way while he was walking.

Oh wait, this came from Firedoglake? Well the outrage-o-meter is probably off the chart over there.

Still some pretty gruesome images, though.

sati demise May 25, 2010 at 5:07 pm

Out of sight out of mind?

FU BP.

Someone should have handed him a pair of rubber gloves, a duck, and a toothbrush and told him to get to work.

An Outhouse May 25, 2010 at 5:09 pm

Douchebags sound extra douchey when they have British accents. Deport the fucking fuckers now. and Andrew Sullivan.

He looks a little French in the jowls.

assistant/atlas May 25, 2010 at 5:13 pm

What I wouldn’t give for one reporter or cameramen–just one–to yell back “Go fuck yourself, wanker, you don’t own this goddamn beach that your greedy ass just raped with oil, you fucking fuckface.”

But instead, the media will just curl their silver tongues around the CEO’s cock and go back to pretending that this isn’t the greatest ecological disaster in the history of mankind. (no seriously, though, can anyone think of one that’s worse?)

frailamerica May 25, 2010 at 5:13 pm

Welcome to America, fucktard.

rocktonsammy May 25, 2010 at 5:14 pm

Keef should be keeping track of how many days the spill has gone on.

The other thing seems meh…

I clearly heard him say “Macaca”.

PickneyPinchback May 25, 2010 at 5:15 pm

The part of the video where we had to listen to Rick Sanchez was especially offensive.

Aguacatero May 25, 2010 at 5:15 pm

Hmmm … the shape of Tony Hayward’s head and shoulders is almost a perfect match for the shape of the largest of the gaping holes in the ocean floor.

bluekst May 25, 2010 at 5:17 pm

how dare the media report what is going on. any angle showing the sludge is obviously biased.

[re=584908]An Outhouse[/re]: You gotta problem with Catholic conservatard Andrew Sullivan, huh? Yeah, me too. And take Hitchens with ‘em. There’s just something unbearable about Brits telling us how to live. We’re quite capable of fucking things up on our own, without second-guessing by refugees from the world’s largest theme park.

[re=584891]Doglessliberal[/re]: Did someone mention Bobby J? Could it be time for another verse of that long-running epic . . . .

JINDAL DIN!?!

The nasty oily slimy was a’ floatin’ on the briny
In a way that caused young Bobby to go whiny.
He’s “a-squatting on the coals/pouring drinks
to some poor souls,”
Met-ta-phor-kic-ally speakin’ at this timey.

Mr. J once bitch’d and moan’d,
About “How the Feder’l Guvernment’s growed!”
But his tune these days sure sounds a little diff’rent.
He’s screamin’ for feder’l loans, and an increasin’ of the dole!
Big Government’s got more helping hands than Vishnu-sani!

Jindal! JinDAL! JINDAL!
What the HELL you doin’ NOW?
Are you flipping too re research on volcanos?
Get your goatskin water bag, and put on your scrap of rag
The British once again invite you to their mess-es!

Annnnnd this is why we hate th’ bloody English down here in Antipodia….

Aloysius May 25, 2010 at 5:27 pm

Not that I have even an ounce of sympathy for the Limey, but I think he may have been telling the first guy to stop standing in the oil spill. As if his company didn’t have enough liability, I’m pretty sure that he didn’t want those idiot cameramen who were tromping around in the sludge today to come back in a year or so with their freshly amputated cancer stumps claiming that BP prematurely ended their ability to stalk Lindsey Lohan.

That having been said, I would have given up my right foot to Gulf cancer for the opportunity to give that fucker a good hard shove into that pool of oil that, according to BP, is clearly not contaminating the whole fucking Gulf as we type.

[re=584904]imissopus[/re]: Don’t you understand, though? A free press was like 80% of why we fought a war with those Limey bastards in the first place. HOW DARE HE THINK HE’S STILL BETTER THAN AMERICA.

If I recall my history correctly, the other 20% was something about dumping Texas Tea into the Texas “Boston Harbor”, so I’m going to assume it was basically exactly the same as what’s happening right now. Also.

I Heart Accuracy May 25, 2010 at 5:41 pm

[re=584945]pondscum[/re]: and Man U fans are always entertaining. Jus’ sayin’.

theshriv May 25, 2010 at 5:43 pm

OR…the cameraman was very close to stepping in a big pool of oil, which, you know, is toxic. So he wanted them out of there (meaning, the oil).

Not to defend the douche, but I think he’s telling them not to stand in the oil.
Doesn’t need any extra lawsuits from cameramen.

tacdab May 25, 2010 at 5:49 pm

[re=584938]Aloysius[/re]: My thought too — doofus with the camera was standing in toxic sludge with no protective gear on. If I’d been there I’d have yelled “Get outta there” too.

rastignac May 25, 2010 at 5:50 pm

Somebody has to remind this fucker that his country lost the war and he does not dictate where Americans can go. He can lube himself with the polluted oil and fap for the Queen.

weejee May 25, 2010 at 5:50 pm

[re=584904]imissopus[/re]: agree – bad images but underwhelming. In the earlier clip it appeared he was talking to reporters who had crossed over a sandbag dike that appears to separate the lower elevation where the worker bees were sopping-up oil from the non-working part of the beach. Not like reporters would never hop over safety lines, crime scene tapes, or such for a better photo op.

Now after a pass on reporter rage, how’s ’bout opening that big BP checkbook?????

weejee May 25, 2010 at 5:51 pm

[re=584972]Tim Was Tim[/re]: agree too and also, just old & slow

Rasvar May 25, 2010 at 5:57 pm

I think I agree that the BP CEO’s admonishments may have been benign. He only seemed to be pointing at cameramen who positioned themselves almost on top of the oil on the beach within where the booms were. If that was the case, it was actually smart because they could have easily gotten oil on their shoes and tracked it to other parts of the beach. Not all cameramen have bright bulbs.

Rasvar May 25, 2010 at 6:01 pm

Plus, another rule also fits this: the first thing that Rick Sanchez ever thinks about anything he sees for the first time is always wrong. I am still amazed he has a job after the tsunami meltdown he had.

Mr Blifil May 25, 2010 at 6:18 pm

Needs moar Christian Bale.

Katydid May 25, 2010 at 6:32 pm

[re=584922]V572625694[/re]: Yeah, I wish libs would stop acting like Sully isn’t a total douchebag. Hitch too. I love the accent, it’s the brainmatter I oppose.

Maus May 25, 2010 at 6:46 pm

[re=585069]Katydid[/re]: Oh god yes. Sully and Hitch are worthless fistpumpers, considered “cool” to libbloggers because in between the whole warmongering they dredge up a few ideas that any moron could, like “maybe Sarah Palin is not a smart lady ps yay gay marriage” and “Mother Theresa may not have been ‘saint’ material also the pope is creepy”.

I wish people would stop linking to fair-weather friends like them.

Can O Whoopass May 25, 2010 at 7:20 pm

Forget the National Guard, they’re in some wars trying to redeem BushCo’s 8 years of Toga parties in Crawford.

[re=585006]Rasvar[/re]: Excellent point. It was just a few weeks ago that he couldn’t believe they have volcanoes in a place called Iceland.

desertwind May 25, 2010 at 9:44 pm

This isn’t a catastrophe, people.

You know that stupid idea of sifting through tons of sand in northern Canada & extracting minute bits of oil from that?

Well…
