Wow, James Cameron really IS King of the World. I suppose by now you’ve heard that he was tapped by the feds to help clean up that oily mess in the Gulf.

As stupid as it sounds, it’s probably better than what BP is doing at the moment. I mean, yeah, we laugh at the concept of some Hollywood dude plugging the hole, but some Hollywood dude was POTUS for 16 years and some bulked up Hollywood dude with a funny accent is the governor of a rather large state.

So, don’t laugh just yet. One of the very first things I learned in photography school was that “photographers are problem solvers”. They have to take any situation and figure out how to deal with it, whether it’s lighting, crying babies or stop motion. I would imagine a film director has to solve problems a million times more difficult than a still photographer. Plus, this guy knows his under water stuff. So, I’m rooting for him.

But if that doesn’t work out, there’s always the Facebook petition to let the MythBusters fix the oil disaster. Now, THAT would be awe-some!

Either way, here’s the FB link to boycott BP, which of course you could do without joining the group.

And this kinda pissed me off. Times UK reports that BP faces criminal charges and the commenters are freaking out about it. Huh? You know, because America is the big evil.
