Excuse the Delay...It's Oil Spill Time

These Gulf oil spill images on the Web are breaking environmental hearts everywhere. There's the image of the pelican drenched in oil with its sparkling blue eyes darting at the camera. And then the lonely fish floating to the top of Gulf waters. While a Earth-devastating oil spill might produce wonderful photography, it's killing more than animals and livelihoods. The spill is lessening hope in humanity. Then, we have the videos comparing the spill to a tipped cup of coffee, alleviating the minds of all. I'll save my judgements about BP and the Obama administration and simply point out that this oil spill represents more than the an acceleration of the Earth's eventual demise, but a perfect example of the evolution of multimedia.
