BP ANNOUNCES BOLD NEW BACK UP TO THE BACK UP PLAN

You just have to love the creativity and persistence of these sleeze-soaked BP guys.

They have tried to cap the Gulf Gusher with a 'Dome', a 'Top Hat', some kind of giant straw and one of our favourites - the junk shot -by which they shoot old tires, golf balls and other junk into the hole to try and plug the leak (think Dutch boy and dike).

Today, however, BP announced that if today's Top Kill effort is unsuccessful they will employ The Executive Stuff technique. This will involve stuffing BP executives into the hole until it is plugged and the oil stops gushing.

Some environmentalists are not enthusiastic claiming that the oil oozing from so many BP executives could do more harm than the gargantuan quantities of oil.
