Looks like @BPGlobalPR (British Petroleum) is a fake, but funny!!! more news here (via @MikeNiles)

THE Twitter account claims to be that of British Petroleum’s public relations department but the messages are a little bit, well, odd for a company battling a massive oil spill.

“Please do NOT take or clean any oil you find on the beach. That is the property of British Petroleum and we WILL sue you,” reads one “tweet” from the account @BPGlobalPR.

“If we had a dollar for every complaint about this oil spill, it wouldn’t compare to our current fortune. Oil is a lucrative industry!” says another.

“Proud to announce that BP will be sponsoring the New Orleans Blues Festival this summer w/special tribute to Muddy Waters,” reads a third.
