Angry New Yorkers are showing their fury over the Gulf of Mexico oil spill - by daubing BP signs with brown paint. Crack squads of eco-campaigners are sneaking out in the dead of night to vandalise signs at filling stations in the Big Apple. They fashion a "paint bomb" by filling a balloon with brown emulsion and hurling it at BP logos above garages. And the backlash has extended to the pumps - hundreds of motorists have vowed to boycott the fuel giant and take their business elsewhere. Gas stations at various locations in Brooklyn and Manhattan - including this site in Houston Street - have already been targeted, and managers across New York are said to be steeling themselves for copycat attacks. A worker tasked with cleaning paint from a BP sign at East 125th Street in Harlem told the New York Daily News he has seen five identical attacks in the last two weeks. He added, "People are getting mad at BP. They are throwing paint balls. All of them are brown. The same paint. Maybe it is the same person." Thousands of gallons of crude oil have spewed into the Gulf every day since a BP rig off the southern coast of the U.S. ruptured in April. The slick is a major threat to wildlife along the Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas coastlines. And it's not only New York where anger over the environmental disaster is bubbling over - in Louisiana, residents have erected signs demanding: "BP - We want our beach back."
