As the oil leak gushes on and on pumping millions of barrels of oil into the sea, destroying wildlife, habitats and communities - BP is busy with the corporate propaganda - in the form of the BP big screen.
This is an event trying to make us think of BP as being a patron of the arts rather than a ravisher of the natural world.

Here's the blurb...
