Isn't It Great That BP Cares About "The Small People"?!


BP chairman,Carl-Henric Svanberg,said:

"I hear comments sometimes that large oil companies are really companies that don't care, but that is not the case in BP. We care about the small people."

Oh,grand Swedish sir!How gracious it is for you to actually spare some of your feelings for the poor peasants from the Gulf Coast!It must be so reassuring for the people whose livelihoods may be a thing of the past to hear a statement like that!

Let me reassure you,Mr. Svanberg.You are a small person that works for a big company.So,I would hope that you would care about folks who are just like you.Having money does not make you greater than others.It just makes you richer.That's all.

Being that this guy is European,I'm sure he views thing based on social stratification.So it's no surprise to me that he would view fisherman & other hard working-class people as "small people."

Here's more from The Huffington Post:

"BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg gave a press conference after BP's four hour meeting with Obama at the White House. During his statement, he disputed the claim the the oil giant didn't care about gulf residents, stating that BP cares about "small people." English is a second language for Svanberg, who is Swedish, but reporters took note of his demeaning phrasing, and shouted questions about what he meant after he spoke, which he did not answer."(END OF EXCERPT)Read more here.

Kid Cudi Has Anger Management Issues!


Kid Cudi just got arrested for destroying a woman's property in what appeared to be a fit of rage.Not long before that,he punched some guy in the face at one of his shows.I thought that this dude was the laid back preppy type because of the way that he looks.But,I was wrong.You would expect these types of antics from a member of the Bones,Thugs, & Harmony. I guess it's just a Cleveland thing.

Here's more from SOHH:

"Kid Cudi arrived in Manchester, Tenn. late last night (June 12) and made it onstage for his scheduled 2 a.m. slot at Bonnaroo, despite being arrested in New York City earlier in the day. According to the AP, Cudi was arrested Friday on charges of criminal mischief and criminal possession of a controlled substance. Yet despite the arrest, Cudi took the stage early Saturday, saying "I really wanted to be here tonight." Cudi is expected to join Jay-Z for tonight's headlining spot at the festival. (Billboard)
Details on Cudi's arrest hit the Internet yesterday afternoon.
TMZ has learned Kid Cudi was arrested in NYC today for felony criminal mischief and possession of a controlled substance. Sources say Kid took a 24-year-old woman's phone and slammed it to smithereens. He also allegedly broke the door of her apartment off its hinges. Cops arrived and found a glass bottle of a controlled substance. (TMZ)"(END OF EXCERPT) Read more here.
