The iconography of the BP Gulf of Mexico oil disaster is truly becoming entrenched in pop culture as there is now a Gulf oil spill video game.
Yes, you heard right. Xbox 360's Indie Games program has released "Crisis in the Gulf." The game can be downloaded by XBox 360 Live users for US$1.
The game offers users the opportunity to try their at hand stopping a massive oil leak at the bottom of the ocean by shooting torpedoes at massive oil globules rising up from the ocean floor.
Perhaps BP should consider this technique.
