sorry if it offends you, but i'm a practicing pacifist in favor of passing the fist.
I say:
They broke it, they bought it.
Effective immediatly i believe it would be a huge step for mankind to admit to the obvious and rename The Gulf Of Mexico to The Gulf Of British
Petroleum.
we should do this out of obligation to the future to never forget that the company that makes an average profit of
35 Billion Dollars every 3
months for the past 5 years hasn't the resources to fix their mistake. A lack of funds, perhaps?
hmm, 35 billion dollars every 3 month times 5 years = $700,000,000,000,000.
hmm, 700 trillion dollars, wonder how they really spent it?
(not that any authority on earth has the power to make them tell us how all that money was spent)
Anyways, I'll be re-labelling the names on the maps in my house and my car to accomidate the historical accuracy of my own maps.
just admit defeat, change the names on all our maps.
Dear Kevin Costner,
great machines you offered, but sorry B.P. won't let you clean any coastlines on the entire american southern coastlines!
All Hail the almighty B.P.
(perhaps rename america, too?)
