(3) Nice one, Halliburton, but after the bang-up job you guys did in Iraq - slipshod construction work, serving our soldiers spoiled food and electrocuting them in showers, raping female soldiers and then trying to cover it up - who the hell wouldn't believe that you botched the cement at Deepwater Horizon, also?
