American Petroleum Institute: Oil Makes Oysters Happy

submitted by NetRunner

1 decade 4 years 5 months 2 weeks ago

From YT: From 1960, the American Petroleum Institute brings us this "informative" film about oyster farmers in Louisiana who are angry at the oil drilling industry. Well, guess what? The oil isn't hurting the oysters. In fact, they love oily water.

seems like a completely un-biased report by the petroleum industry.. very similar to how the tobacco industry examined the toxicity of cigarettes back in the day or how fluoride was examined.. although they kind of shunned any research that opposed their view, I'm sure it's for the overall good.

Moving this video to NetRunner's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

"Look at this proud pelican! His slicked back feathers are all the rage this season! Look out lady pelicans, here comes a real looker! We can expect pelican breeding to be off the charts in future seasons.

Wow.

I'm sure their science is much better now. I mean, they funded all this climate research that all says global warming isn't happening!

That sure is a relief.

Duhmericans will believe anything if'n it's on the TV.
