| BP CEO Commits Another PR Disaster: Attends UK Yacht Race |
| 2010-06-19 |
| As oil spews in Gulf, BP chief at UK yacht race: LONDON -- BP CEO Tony Hayward took time off Saturday to attend a glitzy yacht race around England's Isle of Wight. Social networking sites lit up with outrage. "Clearly it is incredibly insulting for him to be sailing in the Isle of Wight," said Charlie Kronick of Greenpeace. It is incredibly impossible to sail IN an island. Real sailors sail OFF islands. "I'm sure that this will be seen as yet another public relations disaster," said Hugh Walding of Friends of the Earth. The next PR disaster will be when the BP CEO turns his attention from the plugging the leak to taking a dump in his WC. |

| #3 Think about the last time you had a 'situation' at your company. The CEO is probably the last guy you want around mucking things up. And if you *do* need him to lit a fire under someone's butt or spend some money quick, there is always that new-fangled cell phone thingie. |
