Be Mad - Be Very, Very Mad

Oil Lobby Reaches Out to Citizens Peeved at the Pump

Check out this ridiculousness. When will these fat-cat oil execs get it?

"Faced with a national outcry over the high price of gasoline and soaring profits for energy companies, the oil and gas industry is waging an unusually pricey campaign to burnish its image.

The American Petroleum Institute, the industry's main lobby, has embarked on a multiyear, multimedia, multimillion-dollar campaign, which includes advertising in the nation's largest newspapers, news conferences in many state capitals and trips for bloggers out to drilling platforms at sea"...(full article from The Washington Post at link above or here). (Emphasis mine.)

Wasting millions of dollars on advertising is not likely to produce anything but the opposite of the result they are hoping for - don't fall for it!
