Not to blame the victim, and not to excuse BP at all, but why would anyone go to the beach anywhere on the Gulf right now and then be surprised they get oil all over them? I would never let my kids go in the water right now in any Gulf state. If the oil's not there yet, it's only a matter of time. It's sad, it makes me made that it is the case - it absolutely should not be - but what on EARTH were those parents thinking???
I live in Destin which is an hour drive from Pensacola. The tar balls have hit us and I was in shock. When I saw them I couldn't help but tear up. It's so sad. Big oil has ruined our sugary white beaches.
Dammit, I was waiting for the oil to make it there but was hoping it wouldn't. Those beaches (Destin to PC) are gorgeous. And now they're f**ked, thank you BP!
Quote from the mom in the video. "We brought GOO-GONE". I use that s**t to clean my f**king GRILL. OF COURSE ITS A SAFE TOPICAL on the skin!. When you have that one fleeting moment; where you think people aren't really that stupid, you see this..
My god. After watching those moms, I now know we are doomed. People are just too f**king stupid to give a s**t. The only person that seems to realize how f**ked up the situation other than the camera man is a 5 year old girl.
Wow...at least a pelican doesn't have news reports letting it know what's going on, nor does it have much ability to leave the gulf or know where to go. But you lady, you and your family, you're just bathing your stupid fat asses in the stuff, completely ignorant of the word carcinogen.
I've never been to a Gulf coast beach, but I've been to Cape Cod and other New England beaches my entire life, and I can't imagine not being able to go because oil was choking the water, the ocean life, and washing up on shore. I can't imagine seeing all the boats removed from Boston and Newport harbor, all the fishermen out of work... it's all a way of life up here as it is down there.
The images in this video are both great and disturbing at the same time, but I think most people got that it was oil on the beach after the first 6 times he said it.
I just knew my link wouldn't make it to the front page, though my prediction that it would be Mr Babyman that got it on there was a little off. Digg mafia ftw!

I can't believe this. This is a great vid to complement the pics of oil-soaked birds and sea life

Except the birds don't really have a choice. These idiots do.

Am I the only one surprised that dumb bitch didn't go all mental when a strange man came up and started filming her kids in their swimsuits?

I was there last summer. Those beaches are usually beautiful. They're going to be affected by this for years to come.

You are 100% wrong that it's "only a matter of time" until the oil gets there. Lots of beaches on the Gulf will not be touched.
redsfaithfulJun 25, 2010
Parents of the year right there. When those kids have cancer later in life at least they'll have this video that shows them why it happened.
dugdug1Jun 26, 2010
Come 10 years, sue BP for use of dispersant, profit!!
Parents of the Year? Nope.
Investors of the Year? yeah.

This is horrible, but I'm glad this video here. It's something for people who aren't in the area to get a very real look at the damage.

I don't understand why those people are still playing at the beach... "mommy get it off", "I can't, but lets just stay here and keep playing in it."
i wonder how many kids got oil in their mouth.

If a fully grown adult wants to swim in that filth, all the power to them. When you make your kids do it, they should be arrested.

Protip: Getting oil or tar off your feet is easily done with tooth paste and a tooth brush. Been doing it for years.

Isn't the oil on the beach toxic?

Actually rainbows are light which is electromagnetic radiation. Radiation causes cancer so technically Rainbows can cause cancer.

is this against the law? For the parents to do this to the kids I mean.
Seriously, find out who these f**king retards are & start making calls to social services.
