Vaguely disappointed to learn that BP's "top kill procedure" will leave its entire executive strata alive.

Elf disapproves of Neil's comment, to which I responded:

I thought Neil's comment worked because it turned around an obviously PR generated name that spent at least as much time in focus group testing as the operation itself did in engineering review. I'm sorry, but when the corporate marketing hacks start generating names like "Top Kill", if it doesn't star Tom Cruise chewing up the scenery and gross at least $80 million on opening weekend then all bets are off.

Comment policy

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
