The toxic waltz between the culpable and the media regarding the Deepwater Horizon oil spill reminds me of the classic John Clarke and Bryan Dawe satire of the 1991 Kirki tanker spill off the coast of Western Australia. As a tangent, to put things in perspective the Kirki saw 17280 tonnes of crude oil spilt in total, verses an estimated 1600 to 13600 for Deepwater Horizon per day.
