You CANNOT boycott BP because oil is a fungible commodity.

Unlike you though, I'm no arbiter of the status quo.

13. It's insane to suggest you can boycott BP
Edited on Fri Jun-18-10 11:33 PM by WeDidIt
There is no way possible to do it short of becoming an oil trader and if you did that you'd go broke inside a week because of the production capacity of BP.

If you buy any product that includes a petroleum component, you have made a purchase form BP. That includes plastic bags form the grocery store and any plastic or styrofoam packaging.

It doesn't even matter where you buy gasoline. If you buy from Citgo, you have purchased gasoline from BP because Citgo is incapable of producing 100% of its gasoline from the pure shit heavy sour crude produced by Venezuela.

11. I like it.
Good job.

(It actually looks like an explosion on the water. You just might add some flat square shapes to make it look like a platform exploded.)

Oilcott 2010!!!

Privately owned BP station/convenience store that has some pretty progressive owners that I will continue going to. Plus they have the best sandwiches in the area.

15. This is going to get annoying. Disavow the use of petroleum-based products
and then you can wear a neat t-shirt (which, by the way, probably required the use of petroleum-based products to make).

16. Yep, every last one of those "Boycott BP" T-shirts includes BP products
So by buying the "Boycott BP" T-shirt, you have just violated the tenet of boycotting BP because BP produced the crude refined into the plastics used to print the "Boycott BP" T-shirt.

17. Absolutely. Gross commercialization.
Money-grubbing is really quite a turnoff.
