Houston, TX (FASTLAUGH.com) — Beyond Pathetic now confirms what had already been widely suspected — that it intentionally posted photoshopped images of its Houston, TX Gulf of Mexico oil spill response crisis room, in a veiled attempt to portray competency and situational awareness.
Scott Dean, BP’s reluctant spokesperson, confessed that a company photographer photoshopped the pictures so it would appear as if there were actual productive activity and situational awareness occurring in the crisis room, rather than displaying multiple blank screens conveying apathy and incompetency.
Dean noted in his email statement:”Normally we only use Photoshop for the typical purposes of colour correction, cropping, and quick removal of all images that portray CEO Tony Hayward enjoying having his life back.”
