Why is BP spending all the money on tv advertisements? A possible answer =

make sure the media gets more money coming in from this disaster or barter money for tv ads for a media cover up?

If you haven't seen one of the ads, here is the one that precedes the story about the nephew of Judge Clarence Thomas.

1. The process of cleaning their image and convincing people to forget takes time.

and money.

Most Americans, 50% +1, will have forgotten this story by the end of the year. Advertising accelerates the process.

2. What is more important to BP?

It's obvious. BP's future is more important than the future of the Gulf region.

If they cared for the Gulf region like they should have, they wouldn't have screwed over the Gulf region like they are doing.
