Playing the role of being a rejected suitor, while at the same time promoting his "Avatar" film, James Cameron continues to take the opportunity to us BP (NYSE:BP) to promote himself and the movie, which is being re-released this weekend with additional footage.
This time around he expressed outrage that his proposals in the early part of the oil spill were rejected.
BP spokesman Robert Wine responded saying, "Lots of technologies were offered to us. They were thoroughly evaluate by a team of industry engineers. We did have some contact with James Cameron. His technologies were not suitable."
Cameron even tried to make a connection between his film and the oil spill, as if his film was based in any type of reality. Maybe too many deep sea dives Jim.
This is just another celebrity using the tragic circumstances as a chance to promote his film and make a ton more money, while positioning himself as a champion of a cause.

BP (NYSE:BP): No To Cameron's Offer To Assist In Oil Spill Containment
You would think BP (NYSE:BP) would take all the help they can get, but they turned down Cameron's offer to assist in the oil spill containment effort. Cameron, the director in Avatar and Titanic is known for his campaigning for environmental protection.
Cameron said, "over the last few weeks I've watched, as we all have, with growing horror and heartache, watching whats happening in the Gulf and thinking those morons don't know what there doing." He made it apparent his specialty isn't in deep sea expertise, or in drilling for oil. He claims to know people that are very good in electronic optical fiber and operating underwater vehicles.
"I know really, really, really smart people that work typically at depths than what that well is at. Most importantly, they know the engineering that is required to get something done at that depth," said Cameron. He said today that BP "graciously" turned down his offer.
BP has said they've received thousands of ideas on how to stop the hazardous spill. These ideas have come from the everyday person to big corporations.
