Video from gaming site puts to shame our major media.
Thanks to Deadgnome , who posted the link in another thread.

Warning: disturbing footage of oiled birds and a grown man crying, as well as footage of what those cute little "tar balls" do when disturbed.

1. Yes they do... This is good. Most people don't watch 24 hour news.
A because it is vacuous and one can feel their IQ dropping for every minute of viewing.

and B because they are not nursing home residents (Fox News audience), the homeless living in weekly rate hotels (CNN's audience) or minimum security prison inmates (CNBC's audience)


For real people that don't fit in the above categories is good to know they can get the real news.

3. G4TV's (Producer?) is a really good guy. Also done shows on LGBT issues.
Also your comment about seeing on a video game show what you don't see, or see very much of, in the mainstream media is spot on.

7. "don't worry, what oil the booms don't absorb, the birds will..."
-that says it all
-oil booms laid out there for show, to look like something is being done, then here he shows them washed up on the beach useless
