While beleagured BP posts serious gulf gusher updates on its TWITTER site at BP_America - with only about 12,000 followers, it is vastly overshadowed by the TWITTER satirical feed, BPGlobalPR, with more than 150,000 followers. The parody site is updated often and offers a combination of “everything is going exactly according to plan” P.R. speak, macabre humor and occasional glimpses of genuine outrage, eg. on Saturday, — “Safety is our primary concern. Well, profits, then safety. Oh, no — profits, image, then safety, but still — it’s right up there." Now it is complying with a request by the oil company to specify that the feed is just a fake. with this statement: “We are not associated with Beyond Petroleum, the company that has been destroying the Gulf of Mexico for 51 days.”
