Bane of BP's Twitter Existence Revealed

The identity of the man behind the popular BPGlobalPR Twitter account was revealed in an interview with "The Awl."

BPGlobalPR is a Twitter account that satirically pretends to be British Petroleum. It was created by comedian Josh Simpson and first gained notoriety after Roger Ebert retweeted a BPGlobalPR tweet. To give you a better idea of what this is all about, here is a personal favorite tweet from BPGlobalPR: "Reports of 79% of the oil remaining in the Gulf are false according to the pie chart we made ourselves."

Interestingly enough, the fake BP account has over 190,000 followers, while the real BP Twitter has about 18,500 - or just under one tenth of the following.
