FTA: "In order to put a bit of public pressure on them, we plan to buy 100 vuvuzelas and hire 100 vuvuzela players off Craigslist to play in front of BP's International Headquarters"

Prerequisites for being a "vuvuzela player":

1) Lips
2) Lungs

That's it. Deafness and a total lack of shame help, but they're hardly requirements.

Maxx, is it too early in the thread to request a limerick about this?

ShillinTheVillain: I wonder what the people of South Africa thinks of the rest of the world mocking their tradition and using the instrument as a means of annoyance.

Also, I don't think 100 would be enough to annoy most employees. BP headquarters is a massive complex.

The threshold of human hearing is 0 decibels. Sustained exposure to sounds above 80 decibels can cause hearing damage. At 120 decibels, pain ensues. And sounds of about 150 decibels can rupture eardrums.

A vuvuzela can put out an ear-aching 127 decibels of sound.

Trust me, they'll notice.

(Decibels measure the intensity of sound logarithmically. So, increasing a sound by 10 decibels means making it 10 times louder; a 20-decibel increase is 100 times louder, a 30-decibel increase is a 1,000 times louder, etc.)

we've found their fark recruit

BP is the scum of the worst. Their track record reveals a culture of near criminal policies and sociopathic management. They lie to their own employees, the regulators, and even the other Six Sisters +1. BP's accident record should speak for itself.

Time for BP to die!

Sieze assets.
Imprison executives until 3 year investigation uncovers the dirt.
Let someone else have the lease to the biggest oil reserve in the planet.
Profit from selling the good, productive leases at huge numbers.
Pay off some debt and promise Congress some new toys.

Kill BP while you can. Pick their bones clean!
