Mobil has "smell problems" that extend well beyond
Santa Barbara county.

Every time I read one of Mobil's full page ads
in one of the major mags or papers (you know, the ones
that say stuff like "CO2 in the atmosphere is good for
us" or "hey, alternative energy will never work") I think
something smells funny.
