large pizza and a jug of soda

Typical Gawker headline leaves out the whole story. It's not just pizza Ken, but pizza and a soda, in America we call that a meal. Chevron is feeding families, those that haven't been poisoned or blown up, but still..

  Yup and they are providing an important source of fuel. Cause there aren't really any safe ways to get cheap energy.
  
  Also you have any suggestion to keep all this sunshine out from glaring my screen?

And they'll be here too, telling us all we're being anti-science alarmists and taking crazy pills. I wish I had screenshots of some of the ridiculous doublethink that has been spewed on Gawker by pro-fracking folks. Anyone else encountered this?

  Fracktivists are the worst.
  
  They simultaneously say "we know fracking is safe" and "we need more research on climate change."

  Wait what? People will accuse you of being anti-science if you say fracking is unsafe? I though it was widely know that the science is not established here and there are documented links to poisoned groundwater. I don't think they realize what the fuck is going on here...

Well you see. If they apologize for their wrong doing they open themselves up to litigation and might have to actually pay the consequences of their wrong doing.

The only answer for a situation like this, where a corporation can send a voucher and an apology and not risk being victimized by paying consequences of their actions, is tort reform.

  Tangentially related, but companies don't fuck around with anything that could ever be construed as an admission of liability. People like to harangue the "hot coffee" lawsuit, but a huge component of that suit and massive settlement was McDonalds' absolute non-denial. "FUCK yeah, our coffee is way too hot and unfit for human consumption, we make it that way on purpose. That lady is just an idiot!"

  The McDonald's coffee story makes me so angry. She had third degree burns! They knew that it was too hot for the elderly (your epidermis gets thinner as you age) and have had many complaints. All they had to do is say "our coffee is a lot hotter than you are used to" but even their "remedy" was passive aggressive with just a warning about it being hot. Not that they make it significantly hotter than your average coffee (for the obvious reason that it usually has to stay hot while you travel with it).
  
  Their PR agents just spun the story and people eat it up. Love to see how they react if their grandma go third degree burns on their vaginas.
  
  Walmart never admits or settles either.

As long as it wasn't Papa John's. I'd rather get killed in a fracking explosion than eat that garbage.

  I am from the "Pizza Belt" and I enjoy Papa Johns. I don't think it should be legally classified as pizza, since it is more accurately described as a "pizza-like product", but it IS tasty. When I want pizza, I order pizza. When I want Papa Johns, I order Papa Johns. This is a subtle yet important distinction. Their "thin crust" is delicious.

  I am from Brooklyn and lived 5 blocks from DiFara's.
  
  Papa John's is, in actuality, more closely related to a manhole cover than a pizza.

This kind of thing won't fly in the Rust Belt. But it's got a chance in the Pizza Belt.

In any event, I wouldn't eat anything from anybody who followed up an explosion with a hand scrawled letter that read, "We are sorry to have missed you."

  That is not really the pizza belt. That is more like the pierogi belt.

  Heh...if that's true, then this is probably someone's idea of a prank. It doesn't take much effort to create fake corporate stationery.

Chevron is creating jobs at the hospital, the morgue, the cleanup areas and Bobtown Pizza! I suppose you libtards just wanna slap some more regulations on them, right?

Cashing that voucher is considered a settlement and thus the homeowner can no longer sue Chevron.

Chevron has a great 1-2 punch. First, poison their aquifer, then give them free poisonous food.

  That bottle of petrochemicals isn't going to need itself. You've got to create that need to transport liquids. Ruining tap water is a start.

Obviously the owner of Bobtown pizza blew up the wells, which are totally safe and would never ever leak or explode without outside assistance, to reap this cash cow from Chevron.
