A major spill is always going to be a PR disaster for the oil company at fault, but these last few days have seen BP’s image take hit after hit.

There were also more Senate hearings, where Senate Democrats are trying to raise the liability cap for BP to $10 billion.

So Pulizer Prize-winner Mark Fiore decided to lend the troubled oil giant a hand and produced his lastest animation from their perspective. Enjoy!
