Oh dear. I don't think the ocean is supposed to look like a Chihuly glass exibit...

Holy shit, that's awesome. Also oh god no the alien water is going to eat me horrifying, but from far away it's awesome.

You know, that nuke would vaporize a lot of oil.

[RAM]

It would also shift and churn a lot of oil, I am not certain that it would be an improvement, and how much oil would it vaporise? Detonating in highly pressurised water would probably reduce its vaporisation diameter to some extent...

[Nikov]

It would vaporize all oil inside of about an 800 meter radius, as well as crush the well closed.

AAARRRRGGHHH!!

I wasn't even aware it was there yet. That's a very short drive from my home, but I haven't been home in over a month. Now the annoyance and slight anger is more like righteous hatred. Although, I've never bought BP gas because of their charity program. Seriously, their major charity is supposedly subsidizing abortion clinics. I don't want .005 of my dollars going to that.

I don't know which is more ridiculous, that you actually think some oil company is subsidizing abortion clinics, or that you're bent out of shape over an imaginary half-cent.  Got a source on that?

[nenjin]

I am quite serious when I say I think the outrage against BP by everyone and their politician is just piling onto a scapegoat, smearing blood onto their hands from Caesar's corpse and proclaiming that they are liberators in the forum.

There's always one.

Really. I mean, come on, Caesar was totally asking for it, turning his back on them like that...

I'm guessing that glass exhibit is out of Ohio now? I used to have a kick-ass lightbulb with a bunch of spiky cones on it.

But don't you see?? Abortion CAUSED the oil spill! I don't know how, but I'm sure Glenn Beck can draw some f**ked-up chart that explains it all perfectly, as long as you've prepped your mind with a fifth of rubbing alcohol.


EDIT:
Oh, and don't worry. BP's Tony Hayward is hard at work cleaning up this mess. Of course, by "hard at work", I mean "watching his yacht compete in a private race in England"

I think one of the reasons that people are ready to consign BP to the same tier of Hell as Hitler is the arrogance and tone-deafness of Hayward. I mean, this is a level of gall in the face of public outrage not seen since Marie Antoinette said, "Let them eat cake" (and the French responded, "Try eating this big-ass metal blade, bitch!")

Don't be an ass, Aqizzar. Boycotting someone isn't bent out of shape nor ridiculous.

[Aqizzar]

It is ridiculous if you're boycotting over something that you can't begin to prove.  So where's that source on BP funding abortions, huh?

I honestly don't know how to begin hunting for 12-year-old headlines. The point I am making, Aqizzar, is that there are polite ways of saying things and then there's the option for being an ass. You've chosen the latter this time around.
