Doesn't "bollocks" mean "testicles"?

Not being ironic, promise.

My isp is so slow I have yet to see the graphic or pic in the OP.

Spills are the fault of the spiller.

BP is running ads claiming the gulf coast is "clean." Yeah, except for all the oil that went out of sight, out of mind thanks to the toxic chemicals that were used to clean it/disperse the oil. And now all the animals in the sea can't help but "breathe" the dispersant chemicals and dispersed oil into their bodies.

Best news is you can still fry a fish without having to add any oil to the pan. What's not to like?

The schlub in his ivory tower, sitting on piles of money, perturbed by the "little people" just because his company spilled oil, isn't responsible, just as well as those under him, sitting on smaller and smaller piles of money down the organizational chart, but licking his butt daily aren't responsible---but the workers who report to him and the org chart till it reaches them, who actually were there when the oil spilled, ARE responsible? Well, he should take their houses and all monies to make them pay it back! Right?

And people, adults and children, humans, who believed the billions of bucks' worth of PR and ads and dutifully go back to the gulf, and eat from the oil-and-chemical-laden waters--should they be punished with their health and possibly their very lives for trusting in a giant corporation and it's bought mouthpieces who tell them everything's just great?

So just who is the schlub here?
