costner dances with wolves
kevin costner testified in front of congress today about the oil spill advocating for a machine that his scientist brother is building and in which costner himself has invested $20M. he said the machine “could separate oil from 200 gallons of polluted water in a minute [and that] BP, the company that owns the well that exploded in the gulf, has ordered 32 of these machines” in testimony in front of the house committee on science and technology.
during the testimony, costner called out regulators and oil industry peeps for being bureacrats and eejits.* he said the regulators were caught int he never ending circular cycle that forbids untested machines at oil spill sites he reminded regulators that machines meant to clean up oils spills need to be tested at….oil spills. and he called out oil industry peeps because they were too clueless to even imagine that a spill could happen so they wouldn’t therefore invest in the tool.
costner was pretty honest that he was shilling his own product but it’s interesting to consider his motives. maybe he saw the urgency of saving the earth after the recent birth of his daughter grace on june 3. maybe he wanted everyone to remember that cameron (a.k.a. mr. titanic/ monsieur avatar) isn’t the only academy award winning director with an idea. maybe he thought that saving the oceans would make people forget that stinker waterworld.
* a shout out to friends in ireland who use this word so well
