Does Advertising Lie? Most Outrageous Claim: Dick Cheney's BP Billiton Gulf Oil Disaster Worse for Big Business than Little Guys Who Live There... "Next Time, We Litigate Rather than Settle"

Among those most angered by the BP-sponsored ad? The actual victims of the region's worst ever environmental disaster.
