Want to help make sure that BP executives feel at least some pain and annoyance?
Here's a great idea:
Vuvuzelas for BP!
It might not change the world, but it's citizen justice at its best!
You know how irritating those loud, buzzing vuvuzela horns can be when you try to watch a World Cup soccer match? Wow! They have been described accurately as "horns from hell."
If you aren't familiar with vuvuzelas, imagine a tone-deaf giant with no rhythm humming directly in your ear -- for hours on end.
Now some creative pranksters have come up with the best use ever invented for vuvuzelas. I'm not affiliated with them, but I stumbled across their site and admire their idea. They want to raise $2,000 on the internet, and use it in a wonderful way. From their website:
BP is not feeling the pain they are causing in the Gulf. In order to put a bit of public pressure on them, we plan to buy 100 vuvuzelas and hire 100 vuvuzela players off Craigslist to play in front of BP's International Headquarters in London for an entire work day. Ideally, the protesters will keep coming back every day until they fix the gusher.
As I write this, their website shows they have raised just $591 so far, from 46 contributors. Can't some of us here on DailyKos help them reach their admirable goal?
Again from their website:
I know this isn't going to change anything, but it will draw attention back to BP after the inevitable 24hr news cycle finds some celebrity sex scandal to distract us with.
BP wrecked our gulf, so until they fix it, they deserve a vuvuzela serenade!
