BWAHAHAHA...the idea may be fine, and I am not commenting on it, but I am laughing at the idea that BP, with annual profits in the $Billions, is now going to just try and shove some old junk in the well to plug it up. They could have gotten some drunk redneck to come up with this plan.

Stephen Colbert's comment on that idea was priceless:

"Oh. So no one knows what the fu#@ they are doing."

I liked the idea of used kotex, but seen I've seen the hay demo, I think we should try to use it

This must have been the worst thing they could have said/done from a PR standpoint. They should have at least used more technical names for them. Everyone is hammering them hard for it now.

I have a feeling something low tech like this will work.

Didn't NASA use duct tape, a shoe box, a ziploc bag, and an air cartrige to get the astronauts of Apollo back to earth a while back?

This sounds more like a job for MacGyvar everyday.

There's a difference between that being all they had in SPACE vs what can be manufactured here on Earth.

So when are they going to quit screwing around and give this a try. Seems like they have been talking about trying this for a few weeks. Seems like BP is just taking their sweet time.
