Big news in The New York Times this week: terror suspect arrested for Times Square bomb scare thing… Big news, big news. Really important… Oh yeah, there’s a hole in the ocean floor that’s spewing a quarter of a million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico every 24 hrs and no one knows how to stop it. It started two weeks ago, though, so… you know, what’s new?
Good one, humans.
Rick Perry, the governor of Texas, has called the oil spill an act of God. “From time to time there are going to be things that occur that are acts of God that cannot be prevented.” No, dude. It wasn’t God; it was the stupid fucking humans.
What a bummer. BP has offered a $5000 cheque to coastal residents affected by the spill, provided they wave their right to sue… So that’s some good news.
Seriously, who gives a fuck about a try-hard Pakistani terrorist wanna-be when there’s an ever-growing pool of oil filling the ocean and killing everything? It’s bigger than Puerto Rico! And the way BP are accepting full responsibility for the fuck-up is killing me as well. It’s like they’re proud of how grown-up they’re being about taking the blame (they’re accepting responsibility for the spill, not the accident that caused the spill).
BP CEO, Tony Hayward, you are a cock-smoker.
I’m a bit upset; the oil is approaching the Loop Current, which would carry the oil along the Florida coast and down into the Florida Keys, and I’ve got some fishing to do down there this summer.
If they cancel the annual Mother’s Day Dolphin Tournament I’ll be pissed.
Here’s some critters who’ve already bit the big one as a result of the spill…
the “spill” Whoopsies!
