"BP spent nearly $100 million on advertising designed to buff up the company's image and reassure people the company would "make it right" in the three months following the April 20 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig.
The advertising tally -- technically $93,429,175 from April through the end of July -- is more than three times the amount the oil company spent during the same period in 2009.
The number was revealed by BP in a report to the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which has been investigating the oil spill. Panel member Kathy Castor, D-Fla., asked for the information last month."
