A friend that lives in New Orleans just sent me this.

British Petroleum rep Randy Prescott made a comment, "Louisiana isn't the only place that has shrimp." His office number is (713) 323-4093. His email is randy.prescott@bp.com. Give him a call or send him an email and tell him that BP isn't the only place that has fuel for your car.

Can you believe the arrogance?

You posted "PB rep"...here I thought it was a comment from a Pottery Barn rep LOL. I'm glad I opened this post and thank you for the info. I will be sending off an email. He should be ashamed. How low can one go?

I agree, it was a stupid and insensitive thing to say. Here's the story from Snopes.

Here is a link that might be useful: BP shrimp remark on Snopes

That was on Snopes?

I found Tony Hayward's comment much more offensive.
