And, it seems, this week BP had had enough with the charade.“BP requested that the account holder be asked to comply with Twitter’s guidelines regarding parody,” read a statement from Twitter issued today. “Twitter subsequently provided suggestions of best practices that are found on our parody policy page.” ‘BP and Twitter to @BPGlobalPR: Tell Them You’re Joking.

Mind you, BP has purchased sponsored links that appear at the top of Google and Yahoo’s search results for terms like “oil spill” in its attempts to improve its public image in the wake of its massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. BP Buys Top Google Result for “Oil Spill”.
