Serious prank for serious oil spill

Gather up all the dead oiled up sea gulls, turtles, fish, otters, crabs, whatever else is there, and dump it on the white house lawn.

"Birds die from oil spills if their feathers are covered in oil. The bird will then be poisoned because it will try to clean itself. Animals may die because they get hypothermia, causing their body temperature to be really low. They may die from really low body temperature. Oil may also cause the death of an animal by entering the animal’s lungs or liver. The animal will then be poisoned by the oil. Oil also can kill an animal by blinding it. The animal will not be able to see and be aware of their predators. If they are not aware of other animals, they may be eaten." (library.thinkquest.org...)

BP and the white house may pretend to care about the people affected by the disaster, so they can defraud the victim slush fund, but I'm sure the animals are not on their list of things to care about. Let's put it 'in sight/in mind'

I don't live anywhere near there, so it is hard for me to do it, but where's PETA when you need them? Probably protesting outside a KFC at the moment.

Where's the passion? You come up with this half baked idea and you can't
even partake in such a movement. LAME!!!!!

Take a stand, be a leader!!!!! Drag a seal up the eastern sea board and
and get things going.

this idea would obviously take more than one seal to make national news. One seal is lame and not worth it.

Yea because it was the President fault telling TransOcean rig operators to skirt normal safety procedures.


Yea it was the Presidents fault for not cleaning the oil mess even though contractually it completely falls in BP's lap.


How about you take a dive in the gulf and promptly light a match and do us all a favor.

You really think that throwing a dead seal on the White House lawn
wouldn't make national news? Then may I suggest putting some fish in your
pockets as well.

I spewed my limeade at the screen, I don't know why that struck such a chord with me, but I can't stop laughing.

I'm sure it would make national news to some degree.

That said, I'm not as sure that it would have quite the intended effect. These types of stupid stunts typically make the people carrying them out look like complete morons in the eyes of the general public.
