The offending tweet has since been deleted
The official twitter account for BP adopted a far more lighthearted approach this morning, tweeting a fat joke as 5 000 barrels of oil continue spewing from the ruptured Deepwater Horizon oil well every day. The offending comment remained posted for about 30 minutes before being deleted, prompting an explanatory statement from BP spokesperson Mark Salt.
