If you use Firefox to navigate the information superhighway, you should install the Black Oil plugin, which leaks dripping oil on your screen whenever "BP", "oil", and other associated oily words show up.
Here are a few screen shots of the plugin in action.
It was created by the Jess3 creative agency, thanks to reader Simon for passing this one my way.

The spill is sad, Haiti is sad, our economy is sad, the starving kids in africa are sad too. Humans pretty much turned the world into a terrible place with their greed. We all want someone to make world peace and solve all of our problems so we throw money at who ever is willing to take it and think we don't have to feel guilty about the problem anymore. Then we can justify complaining about fuel prices and food prices and at the same time complain about outsourced jobs and minimum wages that.... More

Capitalism plays on the whims of human nature. You need to learn about this history of social class. Oppression and unde-education of the masses in order to keep them complacent. In any case if the mass refuses to follow the order of the oppresser, their is nothing the opresser can do short of physical violence... which is why creating an impoverished majority works in their favor. It's human nature to ignore or to simplify world events when you're constantly focused on your own survival..... More

The public loves scapegoats to death, and they've hit black gold with BP. Doesn't change the fact that they've done nothing much wrong. If you transport oil, like many other companies, eventually one of the tankers will spill. It's horrible, but it won't change unless we decide to stop importing oil altogether.
In short:
Untwist your bloody knickers and try to live for five seconds without someone to hate.

take care of this planet
care means be careful not negligent and wasreful
this isn't about hatred so much as it is about mindfulness
holding people accountable and remembrance
i abandoned my automobile for an electric bike and lobby for more and better public transit
check out what's happening in the Ecocity being built in IRAQ
get off oil as much as you can
it is used in many products

Nice way to help you feel connected to the plight of the people affected without lifting a finger or giving a red cent to do anything about the problem.

What is it with you people wanting to "stay connected"? Get on with your lives already - it's not like you're showering in oil everyday now because of the spill.

"I think it will help not to forget the oil spill and the disaster that's happening in the Gulf right now" - As if the government and the news outlets would let you forget. 'Never mind the family slaughtered two doors down from you or the impending economic collapse, lets all feel bad for this oily pigeon.'
