GULF OF MEXICO (The Borowitz Report) -- In what may be the most positive news to date since the onset of the oil spill crisis, images taken by robotic underwater cameras revealed today that the broken oil pipe is the exact diameter of tween singing sensation Justin Bieber.

As news spread that Mr. Bieber was an exact fit for the broken pipe, a sense of elation quickly spread from the Gulf of Mexico around the world.

"It's clear what needs to be done now," said a BP spokesman. "There's no other way to describe this but a huge win-win.

Hi guys.Each to his own but in my books there are just some things that are no joke zones.This gusher fits for me.I am very fearfull for all the people and wildlife.It is clear to me that the damage will turn out to be beyond comprehension today and the collapse of the economy in this area is going to be disastrous and potentially a public safety powderkeg.           Concerned In Canukistan

Yeah I can see it is tough subject to make a joke of but I saw it more as a joke about manufactured tween "pop stars" and the ridiculous media hype surrounding them.  But your point is taken, no offense intended.

Wow, I get to side with Srust58 for a change.

Humor is NOT counterproductive to positive change or productive work.  Most often the opposite is true.
Humor is an effective counter measure to depression.
Humor helps relieve stress.  People often make bad decisions under stress.  So, yuk it up!

I believe it normal to be concerned about the gulf oil spill.  Even better to do something about it.
Talking/joking about it helps focus and can refresh thinking.
Humor helps to keep us from slitting our wrists over something we are concerned about but have very little control over.

I say, if Canada or a Canadian can help, let them.   

Would you rather scream in agony all the way from the 200th floor to the pavement, try your best to learn to fly, or watch the gorgeous sunset?

Couldn't we stuff rosie o'donnell in there just to make sure it never leaks again?

My suggestion would be to keep her reserve.

So you mean something like a last #$%* ditch effort right?

Recent post on Sarah Palin's twitter account.

Gulf disaster needs divine intervention as man's efforts have been futile.  Gulf lawmakers designate today Day of Prayer for solution/miracle.

One possible response:
If praying stopped things from spewing you would have been rendered mute long ago.

And now the idiot curve has been redrawn in Sarah Palin's favor.

Mississippi's Republican Gov Haley Barbour said this week about the 20 billion dollar escrow fund.  "It bothers me to talk about an escrow being made, uh, which, which makes it less likely they will make the income that they need to pay us."


So, if BP sets aside enough money to pay the victims it won't have enough money to pay the victims.
