BP Global PR is a fake Twitter feed purporting to represent BP's public relations during the oil spill crisis. Their hilarious tweets, which paint BP officials as incompetent and self-interested blunderers oblivious to the ongoing crisis, have gained 140 thousand followers. The secretive pranksters behind the account have put their popularity to good use, selling "BP Cares" t-shirts that have so far raised $10,000 for Gulf restoration work. One of the tweeters has even recorded interviews, albeit with both his voice and face obscured. Here's "Terry" speaking to CBS News's Shira Lazar.

Lazar muses, "there is no denying its significance in how social media has shifted the ability for companies, brands, or even governments to control the public conversation through traditional media messages and means."
