LONDON (The Borowitz Report) -- Following through on its pledge to install fresh leadership at the top of the company, BP today replaced embattled CEO Tony Hayward with a startled deer.
Bucky, the red deer selected to take the helm at BP, is believed to be the first woodland creature ever to run a multinational corporation.
In his first appearance before reporters in London, however, the antlered executive garnered mixed reviews for what some observers said was an unsteady performance.
Appearing frightened by the TV lights, Bucky kicked over the podium and then pranced down the hall before being subdued with a tranquilizer dart.
"Clearly he's a little rough around the edges," said BP board chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg. "But he still did better than Tony."

Tony Schwartz: Tony Hayward Is the Identified Patient
Hayward misbehaved by saying what he felt. But is there any reason to believe he is worse as an executive than any of his colleagues? He did spend nearly 30 years rising steadily through the ranks at BP, and he was the guy who reached the top.
