Does BP even KNOW how a condom is supposed to work?
Let's just get right to it. British Petroleum (BP) has no freakin' idea how a condom is supposed to work; but my 9 year old does, and he doesn't even know it!
Obviously, none of the BP executives have ever worn a condom before; OR, they were just so drunk back in college, that they don't have any recollection of ever having used one. And who, or what, is getting FU*%*D without a condom now? Our environment, and ultimately, US!
If you're offended by the language, too bad. This is one argument that deserves total outrage and a lot of cussing! On this one, I simply can't apologize for voicing my opinion as freely as it comes.
Here's the real issue of the day. BP has placed a small pipe, inside the bigger pipe, to try and capture some of the oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico. REALLY? Yep, that's what they've done. And why did they do this? Not to fix the problem...NOPE, not on your life! They went with this solution to try and capture as much of the undiluted oil as possible. They're trying to make sure it's not contaminated with sea water so that it can still be used to produce gas. They're not trying to capture everything that is leaking into the ocean. They're not trying to save the oceanic environment, the wetlands of Louisiana, or the massive fishing industry in the Gulf. In order to continue to earn a few extra bucks for the "good ole company," and to make sure that the well wasn't a total corporate failure, they're trying to capture as much pure oil as they possibly can. Sure, they're burning off some of the natural gas from the side of the tanker on the surface, but there's no way they're going to let go of the possibility of catching as much oil as they can. And if 80% of it ends up floating on top of the ocean, so be it. They've got their 20%, and it's useable.
What BP should be doing is, placing a BIGGER pipe, OVER the OUTSIDE of the smaller pipe from which the oil is flowing, in order to capture every single bit that is coming out of the well. And guess what BP, you might get a tiny bit of ocean water mixed in with the oil that you'd capture....but you'd get ALL OF THE OIL!!!!!!
It's kind of like wearing a condom to make sure that nothing escapes. I know it's not something that BP executives think about very often...SAFETY, and how to prevent unwanted things from happening. I mean, your track record on safety leaves a LOT to be desired. And we all know that most of the time, guys think about how they should have worn a condom after the fact, and by then, it's too late. Well, as late as it is, it's still not too late to put the right size condom, I mean pipe, over that other pipe! You can do it! You might not remember how it supposed to work, but you should, at the very least, give it a try.
I know, I know, you tried to put the big dome over it, (and we all know what happens when a guy uses a condom that's too big), it just doesn't work! And then you tried the "top hat." Of course, that thing was going to get blown off, because it's too short and too wide. But let's get to the real problem with those two solutions...both of them caused water or frozen moisture to get into the oil mix, and that was not going to be acceptable for BP. Could both of these solutions have captured the oil? Probably! Was THAT the first concern of BP? NOPE!
I am telling you, BP is more willing to risk the potential cash pay-outs, than lose more oil. Why? Because ultimately, they're going to get to pay one big settlement fee which will be dispersed to millions of affected people; and they'll probably get to go to court, and lower the final settlement amount. Of course, the pay-out won't be enough for anyone that is actually affected by this spill. Everyone will get a miniscule amount compared to what they should get from this disaster. And BP is willing to take their chances, and let the chips fall where they may.
It's amazing to me, that my 9 year old figured out the solution to the problem before all the BP engineers. As my family watched the news, and were told of the small pipe being put inside the bigger pipe; and that it would capture less than 1/2 of what was flowing out of the well; my son said to me..."Mama, why don't they put a bigger pipe on the OUTSIDE instead of on the inside so that they can get it all?"
BRILLIANT! Has my 9 year old solved BP's problem? No, he's just solved our problem, he's solved our environment's problem, he didn't solve BP's problem. Because that brilliant little boy wasn't thinking about capturing undiluted oil, he was thinking about capturing ALL OF THE OIL!!!
