The Big Picture visits the Big Easy courtesy of Big Oil

Hi Neatorama, stop linking The Big Picture. Neatorama users are familiar with that awesome photo blog by now and probably like me, frequent it often.

Thanks,
Buzz

2 questions :
- what is it going to be when the hurricane season comes?
- isn't that sludge cancerous and shouldn't people refrain from touching it?

Anyway the scars will be there for long : I visited brittany 10 years after the Amoco Cadiz spill and the rocks were still stained :(

Dang! I found an answer! guess where?

Tragic as this is, I'd rather Neatorama stick to things that are... well... neato. I'm bombarded by news all day long, and come here to escape for a few minutes. Please keep things neato.

"Ohh please don't post things that aren't neato. It hurts my fragile feelings."

Hi Buzzbo, not everyone here has been tuned into Neatorama as long as you. Like any good website, I'm sure Neatorama adds new users everyday--who aren't linked to the Big Picture. Do you complain about links to Uncle John's Bathroom Reader and Mental Floss, too?

I'm a frequent Neatorama user and I like the Big Picture--but I don't get a chance to view it every day. I appreciate the prompt that there is something of special interest posted there. It's why I come to a "compilation" website like N-o-R instead of 52 different websites.

Thanks,
Marishka

Never been to that site before, and had it not been posted today, I would never have seen it. Just because you've already seen a particular piece information, doesn't mean everyone else has seen it too. The world does not revolve around you, which you may or may not know, but I figured it was worth while to inform you.

Thanks,

:( sad

Makes me want to stand on shore as if I could stop it with will and manpower

I heard from someone many years ago that man is the only animal that fouls its own nest. I guess this is living proof of that.
