BP's public relations problems continue into 2012, as one of its "Look guys, we're helping!" ads features an accidental cameo by a group of anti-BP protesters, who are reminding Gulf Coast residents why their water table got screwed up in the first place.

Remember Chris Rock's bit about people who brag about doing things they should already be doing? Exhibit A, right here.
