    Wait for your friends to go, then set the whole thing in fire. Sounds cool.

  2. Dario says:

    Is BP going to clean that up? :D

  3. MrsToxic says:

    i live in florida and it makes me more sad and angry everyday

    • PhaNNIUS says:

      Maybe you’re on your period, miss.

    • Mouzly says:

      Ditto on living in Florida and being sad :( One day I’ll have kids and I’ll tell them, “I used to swim in that gulf at this beach” and they’ll be all, “Yeah, sure mom.”

      • TheyCallMeTomu says:

        Don’t worry ma’am! That’ll never happen!

        After all, with the gulf ruined, it’ll infect the local watering supplies, and everyone will become sterile!

      • Erin says:

        I hope people realize there are things suffering out there more than humans not being able to sit on their hopeless beaches.. like, i dunno, sea creatures choking on oil and such. I live in Maryland, and i’m pissed about it.

        • clint says:

          *munches down on his dolphin riddled tuna sandwich*

        • Avi says:

          I hope people realize that Floridans are sad about the whole situation. The beach is the visible representation of the state of our waters and always has been. That’s like saying “You guys aren’t sad because the entire forest burned down, just because you can’t picnic there anymore.” That’s just ridiculous.
          And btw, the entire backbone of the Panhandle’s economy is based on the gulf, so “not being able to sit on their hopeless beaches” is not our biggest concern. Although, since we won’t have jobs soon, it would be a nice way to pass the time.

  4. Spade6sic6 says:

    Guys, although it looks like a polluted ocean wave, I think it’s fairly obvious what were looking at: The result of Justin Bieber’s enema.

  5. manchestermisfit says:

    everyone gave Bush a hard time about his response time for Katrina, I dont hear anyone getting on Obama’s ass for his total lack of response.. It has been TWO MONTHS!!! figure this s**t out!

    • Anya says:

      I don’t know where you get your news, but I’ve heard plenty about people bashing Obama for feds’ response.
      Unfortunately, there isn’t much he *can* do; the Feds don’t have access to the subs needed to work 5000 feet underwater, and they need relief wells to plug the spill. Those need to be made *from scratch*, which is of course, a really long process.
      What Obama needs to do is sue the pants off BP, put that money to actual good use (like rebuilding), and kick the gov’t into shape so this doesn’t happen again.

      And Bush’s major flub was praising the FEMA head while proto-apocalypse played out in New Orleans. Kinda hard not to look like a jacka** after that.

    • casprd says:

      Obama’s team has been on the issue of the well and they are on the clean up as well. As for Bush and Katrina, as much as I think Bush was an A$$hat, he got a bum rap on Katrina. By law, fema assistance must be requested by the local authorities. Unfortunately for the citizens of New Orleans the mayor and the governer didn’t request assistance for several days. Fema had supplies and assistance standing by, but there was nothing they could legally do.

    • The Amazing Rando says:

      You know, I hear so much that Obama hasn’t done anything, yet nobody has any solutions for what he SHOULD do. What he has done is talk to BP and get them to fork out $20 billion for the people of the Gulf affected by this disaster. And what do the Republicans do? Throw a hissy fit about him doing that AND APOLOGIZE TO BP! Seriously? I don’t care if Obama did is right or wrong. We’re not apologizing to the people who destroyed the Gulf of Mexico.

      • PYLrulz says:

        Exactly. Yeah, how do you expect anybody to handle this? Put their arms together like a genie, blink their eyes, and the whole damn thing stops? Not much that can be done other than what is being done right now.

        • TheyCallMeTomu says:

          Well, Obama DID simply dismiss the nuclear option, so I suppose if anyone’s that pissed at him, they can blame him for not simply dropping a few nukes down there. Nevermind that the jury still seems to be out as to whether it’s possible that that’d just make it a whole heck of a lot worse…

      • Lizzy says:

        That wasn’t the republicans, that was a single douchebag from Texas who later retracted the apology thanks to the resulting backlash.

    • legion says:

      A big difference between humans and animals is the ability to reason and communicate complex ideas with language. Once that difference is removed, for example, by communicating without reasoning, there really isn’t much of a difference. Manch, you are a barking dog, plus clothing.

  6. surfchick89 says:

    pics like this make me sick to my stomach. nothing against the caption though, its good :)

  7. Kodemunkey says:

    Am i wrong in imagining a slice of that on plate with three scoops of ice cream and a little strawberry sauce?

  8. Vickster says:

    Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww grody

  9. anthony says:

    For god’s sake guys, just call in the dutch.

    • Alexandryia says:

      Amen. . . someone tell Obama to get off his ass and ego and let some other counties help like they’ve offered!

    • Tony says:

      Sarah Palin comments here?

      The Dutch have experience with dams and keeping stuff from flooding.
      Not cleaning up oil spills. (atleast, not as far as I know)

      • Bill says:

        Within 24 hours of the spill, Dutch ships with tech to take oil out of the water offered help. Obama said no. There is a privately owned fleet of twenty five such ships that are American and ready to help. Obama won’t let them.

        • Tony says:

          Looking it up, it was actually about 10 days later, they offered skimmers.

          I’ll acknowledge it would help, but it’s not a solution to the problem at all.

          And I’d also mention it’s not exactly like this is unique to Obama, Bush turned away a lot of foreign aid offered during/after Hurricane Katrina, when there were lives directly on the line.

          If anything, it seems more a generic “US government hates accepting aid from others” than being limited to any particular politician or party.

          • Kitty says:

            Nirvana fallacy much?

            If it can help even a little bit, use it! This situation needs all the help they can get.

            • TheyCallMeTomu says:

              Yeah, it’s true-actually, we have a responsibility to the world to let everyone who wants to help help, even if it’s only a little bit. After all, this tragedy will have global implications for sure. So, I’m not entirely sure what the big deal is with refusing foreign aid-I guess we figure we’re in enough debt financially, and we don’t want to be in debt in other ways?

            • Tony says:

              I wasn’t saying it didn’t.
              IMO the others were having it sound like the Dutch or others had the solution to the problem…which they don’t, sadly no one does.

              Yeah if you’ve got a major cut, you want the tourniquet to slow down the bleeding…but you shouldn’t pretend the tourniquet is actually a full blown solution to the cut.

    • CurlyB says:

      The little Dutch boy and his finger are standing at the ready.

      Damn that sounds dirty.

  10. Gloppy Goodness says:

    It reminds me of Orbitz – anyone else remember this stuff?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbitz_%28soft_drink%29

    • Tristess says:

      I used to drink this stuff when I was younger, the Raspberry Citrus was my favorite. Everyone else I knew was weirded out by it, though. :P

  11. true thst says:

    omg u luky things u can put that in a bowl and sell it :)

  12. Come on in! the water’s….. ZOMG WHATISTHISFISHIDON’TEVEN…

  13. Again says:

    This is the Bush – and Republican – Legacy, ladies and gentlemen.

    • For the Nguyen says:

      Sorry Wrong site…Pundit Kitchen is the fifth tab

    • Wrong says:

      Wrong, this is a 100 years of growing oil dependency.

    • The Amazing Rando says:

      I hate Bush, I really do. But what does this have to do with him? Nothing, because you’re an ass hat.

      • TheyCallMeTomu says:

        Well, the real problem is government in general. Either
        A.) You DON’T create agencies that look over the Oil companies or
        B.) You do, and then the agencies have crack-filled sex parties with said oil companies, and accomplish nothing.

        The BP spill cannot be blamed squarely on Obama, but it certainly can’t be traced all the way back to Bush and his ilk either. It just goes to show that if we’re going to be letting corporations do dangerous things, we actually have to regulate them, because they will not regulate themselves-and if we’re going to regulate them, we have to regulate the regulators. And that chain of guarding the guardians has to apply to EVERYONE-because otherwise, you’re just pushing it back one step.

        Does that sound a whole lot like a control-economy like communism? Maybe a little. But it’s better than having a totally incompetent government that lets these disasters happen. There are basically two possible outcomes of the oil spill:

        1.) Democrats will be blamed for it, so people will vote them out of office and vote more Republicans into office (which, of course, will make regulations more lax).
        2.) People will be forever given a disposition against off-shore drilling, which will make for more pushes towards renewable sources of energy.

        Sadly, I expect 1 to happen well before 2 sees the light of day ;/

        • The Amazing Rando says:

          That’s far too intelligent for the Internet.

        • merp says:

          Of course, until we actually find a good alternate energy source, its not a question of for or against: we will still need offshore drilling to feed our oil-dependency. Its a vicious cycle.

          • SaiyuriSatomi says:

            People have already harnessed energy from the sun, its clean and efficient, now we just need to apply it.

            • Lizzy says:

              Yes but it’s inconsistent thanks to clouds.

              • Catrinai says:

                You realize you still get sunburnt when it’s cloudy, right? Plus there’s wind energy. We have mass amounts of turbine fields here in the Midwest, and you can’t drive down the highway without seeing a chain of 3 semis all carrying turbine parts.

                I don’t see why we can’t find some way to harness the radiation that’s all around us…

                • legion says:

                  I know the answer to that one. It’s how we live.

                  People have an energy-intensive lifestyle. Every day, I move 2,000 lbs ten miles – driving a car to work and back. I stop moving this incredible weight to watch young people cook fat in a 25-gallon, 2500-watt oven all day. Yikes. At work, even when the sun is bright, indoors the place is illuminated by 4200 lights at 25 watts each. Artificial daylight, in a part of the world where it is sunny 300 days of the year.

                  Could I bike to work? Yes, *I* can. Could my employer install skylights and save a bundle? Sure. Do we need to eat fast food? No.

                  It’s not like people do not know what’s going to happen someday. I just hope that I am personally not collateral damage.

  14. For the Nguyen says:

    That wave is pretty slick………

  15. teatime of a daft death says:

    *looks around for the politards to start a flame war*
    Not too many yet thank god.

  16. Abigail says:

    Awww :-( The oil spill has been such a terrible disaster!

    • lololololol says:

      But at the same time kinda funny too

      • legion says:

        I was hoping that it would all catch on fire, and then a hurricane would blow the whole flaming mess onto the shores. The fires would overwhelm the firefighters and major cities would go up in flames. All in all, it’s been disappointing. Someone got a promotion in the demonic ranks of Hell for sure, but not as much as he’d have liked.

  17. IzZzY says:

    tbh, the water was probly brown before BP got there, all they added were the the black bits

    • MrsToxic says:

      Actually, you’re kind of right. I always thought Florida beaches were disgusting and filthy. I refused to swim in the ocean before this all happened.

  18. Phoenix says:

    Very demotivational indeed. :(

  19. Rude says:

    Prolly bad timing. But OMGTHATWAVELOOKSSOOCOOL!!

  20. MadRaven says:

    well, now that the water is brown, maybe we can get a bunch of riled up AZ republicans to try and deport it.

  21. BP's Father says:

    Son, I am disappoint.

  22. TALIP says:

    BP better get their asses sued off for this.

  23. joe says:

    its an atrosity.

  24. It's the end of the world as we know it says:

    It is so sad that this is what it has come to. The last 40 years we had president after president claim they were going to do something to help decrease our oil dependency and yet here we are.
    The whole human race has inevitably screwed itself. Maybe 2012 was a self fulfilling prophecy. Even as a kid I always thought that with the way we were going we would eventually kill ourselves off, fortunately the world itself will long outlive us and all the damage we have done.

  25. An intolerant individual says:

    That’s a crude joke.

  26. Jesse says:

    This is from Orange Beach, AL. Irony FTW.

  27. matt says:

    it’s orange beach alabama

  28. Brett says:

    You know, its been about two months since this occurred and we have known from the beginning that this would have grave consequences for our economy and those living in the gulf region. Yet, it seems everyday that there is an increasing opinion that feels the need to voice their ignorance on what the government and Obama SHOULD do and the only point you prove is that 95-99% of you have absolutely no idea how politics or the economy works at all. Trust me, i feel for the people and animals who are greatly affected by this tradgedy but many of you offering your own home grown “solutions” to this problem need to spend a lot more time listening and a lot less time talking out of your ass

  29. abc says:

    LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  30. killitwithfire says:

    I say in addion to setting the oil on fire we set the BP main office on fire as well and perhaps the heads guys house as well

    • Lizzy says:

      They ARE burning what they can, but because the ocean is made of water (which doesn’t burn), most of it can’t be burned. If it’s been mixed with water (emulsified-go look it up) then it won’t burn.

      • legion says:

        Oh GOD!! Surfactants (i.e. many types of cleaning products) stabilize emulsions, making it freakishly HARD to remove a contaminant. I did not know this.

  31. jokester says:

    It’s actually an interesting turn of events because now the oil is invading America. Divine justice if you ask me: America as a nation had it coming.

  32. America: F*** NO! says:

    It’s so funny to see Americans get all pissy about this stupid oil spill. It is NOT the worst environmental disaster in history. It’s not even the worst oil spill in history. Watching grown adults in America parade around in fancy dress costumes, crying and saying on live TV how BP should be ruined because of this and all that s**t, is quite pathetic.

    America is the greatest polluting nation on the face of the Earth. It’s you fat bastards that are ruining this planet faster than Usian Bolt can run the 100metres and you get all hysterical because some foreign company has stopped you from laying on the beach? Get a grip seriously.

    • sporktine says:

      Dear Internet Troll: When your opinion is slightly rational, provides to the conversation and isn’t fueled by idiocy (i’m sure you are proud of your Usain Bolt analogy) come on back, ya hear?

      Are you just mad because BP f***ed up and ruined someone you know’s pension or something?

    • TheyCallMeTomu says:

      First up: The Exxon Oil Spill was a worse oil disaster-until probably a few weeks ago. The difference is that the Exxon Oil spill was a contained set amount-albeit a very large amount. This isn’t just a spill, it’s a leak, which means as long as there’s pressure, more and more oil will spill out. To whit, even if this isn’t the worst environmental disaster in history, it has the potential to become the worst environmental disaster in history.

      As for the “you’re constantly polluting the planet anyway” argument, imagine that we have a net pollution allowance as a planet. Kind of like having a million dollars to spend, but once you’re out of money, you’re dead. And let’s say, you go through 10,000 dollars-credits, whatever-a year. You can live for a hundred years. But if BAM, suddenly, 100,000 dollars are taken from you, that’s 10% of your lifeline.

      Of course, you can argue that the actual damage done by the spill is only increasing the net amount of damage done per day by a certain percentage, but I’d argue that it’s probably a significant percentage: anything over 1% is actually huge when you’re talking on that scale, and I’d guess it’s probably bigger than that. Mostly because the NATURE of the oil leak is a spike, rather than the dull suffocation to which the rest of the planet pollutes.

      Obviously, if we want a survivable planet in the future, we need to work on clean fuel alternatives today, but that doesn’t mean that just because we don’t have clean alternatives, that when someone does something needlessly unclean, they get a free pass.

    • clint says:

      “It is NOT the worst environmental disaster in history. It’s not even the worst oil spill in history.”

      Really? Uninformed much?

    • CDThe says:

      The ‘the worst environmental disaster in history’ was not American anyway, it was Ukrainian. Chernobyl.

      • TheyCallMeTomu says:

        Environmentalists like to make a big deal out of Chernobyl, but it was kind of a weird case. If we ever switched to Thorium nuclear reactors, we’d actually have cleaner safer energy (that you can’t use to make bombs).

        Though, it still has the problem of creating nuclear waste…

  33. VickyLee says:

    I feel guilty for laughing…
    Man, I’m so sick of this crap; why doesn’t the gov. shut down BP stations until they clean up the mess? That’ll get their a*ses moving faster…

    • TheyCallMeTomu says:

      You’re asking why the US government doesn’t simply shut down British Petroleum?

      Sounds like an international incident waiting to happen-not that this isn’t an international incident as is.

      Politics and government are, sadly, much more complicated than we’d like them to be.

    • CDThe says:

      US government has no authority over a British company

      • Patrick says:

        They somewhat do, actually. They are building in the US, the US can tell them to shove off of the US land if they want them to.

    • Lizzy says:

      Way to screw independent businesspeople who bought into the franchise. Shutting down BP stations isn’t going to hurt the corporation as a whole nearly as much as you think, but it would bankrupt a lot of hardworking ordinary folk.

  34. Toet54 says:

    So, it’s not jello then?

  35. Chuck Stevens says:

    Nuke the Oil Well? Nuclear Option:
    While BP continues to be permitted to sit on both the situational and geological data about the Deepwater Horizon Gulf oil spill, it is impossible from a distance to determine the extent of the threat that we face, or, what will work to end the spill. Under these circumstances all options should be studied. A leading expert on Peaceful Nuclear Explosives, Milo D. Nordyke, has given two interviews on How a possible nuclear option would work
    http://www.larouchepac.com/lpactv?nid=14943

    • Smitty says:

      Why would it need a nuke? If BP was interested in sealing the leak couldn’t a large conventional explosive do the trick?

      I think the don’t WANT to seal the leak. They have too much money and time (which is also money) and political influence (which is ALSO money) invested. And, the ease with which they will get permission to do more drilling here in gone. They will keep trying to “cap” it. No effort they make to actually seal it will be genuine.

  36. CommonZentz says:

    i’ve kissed mermaids, rode the el nino
    walked the sand with the crustaceans
    could find my way to mariana
    on a wave of mutilation,
    wave of mutilation
    wave of mutilation
    wave

    wave of mutilation
    wave…..

  37. Wobbly Wheel says:

    If somebody rode that oily wave with a surfboard, they would take off like a rocket and wind up in Africa.

  38. Jimmy Pham says:

    TOO SOON!!!!

  39. Falcon2dr says:

    I went swimming in ’85 on Padre Island in the Gulf (first time in salt water) , when we got out, my boyfriend said let me check your feet ?? I said why ? his answer – to check for tar balls…… I am from Mich, and never in my life have I ever had to scrape tar off my feet. So all of you that are getting some kind of a kick out of this, are Sick in the Head…. There are people that believe that this crap is going to get into that Loop Current, and go all the way up the Coast to Maine. It’s not just people belly aching about Florida Beaches, this has the potential to wipe out thousands of miles of beaches.

    NBC just went back to Valdez and dug a little tiny hole with a shovel, and guess what they found……. OIL covered gravel…. Exon never paid the full amount of what they were fined.

    Those other countries offering help, are not going to come for FREE, someone is going to pay the bill, the govt is not paying (supposedly) therefore it’s really not there call, unless you want to pay first, then get it back from BP….

    I hate it being called a “Spill” if you “spill” a glass of milk, you’ve spilled a fixed portion of a gallon. This is a LEAK and no one knows how big the container is, that’s why they don’t want to blow the damn thing UP, they’d be cutting there own throats. The whole thing makes me ill, and it’s not even over yet.

  40. l6904 says:

    Stop the leak, please! I don’t want this to continue…

    And if this keeps going on too long, will we have to change every map so that instead of the gulf being blue, it’s brown-black to represent how much oil is there?

  41. Lady Strange says:

    ****BP

  42. Bill says:

    This is actually what happened when the cast of “Jersey Shore” spent too much time in the water and their fake tans dissolved.

  43. Bobo the chimp says:

    Hang 10w40 Dude! Kowabunga!

  44. Daffodill says:

    Haha is that Jello?………oh wait……..
