Identity of @BPGlobalPR Revealed

The Awl has posted an exclusive interview with the man behind @BPGlobalPR, Los Angeles-based comedian Josh Simpson.

The account is actually a spoof of an insensitive BP publicist. (Example: “Attention lazy fishermen! If you won’t clean our mess, we’re taking your money. Fair is fair. http://ow.ly/27SJF,” posted on July 7.) Earlier this year, the identity of @BPGlobalPR remained a mystery, even as the tweets made news.  During the interview with The Awl, Simpson says he had a team of 15 who worked with him to maintain the account.
