We love a snarky challenge, and there’s a really good one on Twitter right now. #renamebp invites you to come up with a new name that the inititals “BP” stand for. Currently leading are “Bitch Please,” “Bush’s Pals,” and “Blame POTUS.”
I’m thinking, “Big Polluters,” “Beware Pricks,” “Bleak Payoff,” “Begin Picketing,” and “Blatant Profits.”
What do you think “BP” stands for?
On a recent episode of “News Watch,” Fox News’ media-news snarkfest, the panel had fun mocking reports that rival CNN is planning to hire former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer for an on-air gig. The gang was giddy, of course, because Spitzer, a Democrat, had to resign as governor in 2008 over of a call-girl scandal.
Here’s how Frances Martel at Mediaite described the segment:
Trump’s renaming of Lake Ontario has created a litmus test —
Yield, and rename it Lake America, at Donald Trump’s behest,
Like Google and Apple, which already capitulated,
Changing the name just like Dear Leader stipulated,
But there’s one defiant holdout — the original mapping site, Mapquest.
