Stop the leak, clean up your mess, pay all damages, then go fuck yourselves.

8. My idea, offered free gratis, to BP
String a line down to the gushing wellhead. Tie it securely to anything in the vicinity. Get every executive at BP on a boat, and start sending them down the line until their bodies block the outflow.

Now, some BP executives may die in the effort, but it's a risk I'm willing to take.

10. I think this is a powerful statement of why we should never have
Edited on Fri May-14-10 12:20 PM by hlthe2b
been drilling there and certainly not so deeply. I can only hope that this sinks in to all the supposed people who STILL have no problem with drilling. It really is a devastating statement. Activists should seize on it.

And to all those who just want to tell BP to F/off, damn it, I want SOMEONE to stop this spill and I, for one am not taking this as a joke. Be pissed at BP and all the corporatist crooks. I certainly am. But if any of you are happy that they are failing, well, my own words for you will fail me (or get me banned).
