Are big corporate polluters trying to “artwash” their image?

The Guardian “Activists occupy British Museum over BP sponsorship”

I really like that idea expressed by these activists that BP’s sponsorship of big art exhibits is not philanthropy. They are basically paying to mainstream their own presence, to obscure their true identity as a corporation that profits from threatening the future of our species. A great example of how money is used to shape cultural perceptions and in the end the evolution of our culture.
