When 10000 barrels of crude oil roll down your street

Something else us taxpayers will no doubt have to pay for.

Hours after Republicans call the Keystone XL pipeline a “no-brainer” that passes environmental “muster,” ExxonMobil spills 10,000 barrels of crude oil in a residential neighborhood.

Could we get the video in that link remixed with the theme from the Beverly Hillbillies?

Barring some sci-fi-esque technical breakthrough, that neighborhood will not be habitable again in our lifetimes. Of course, the teatrash douchebags don't give a shit, even as their money pays for this.

Where the oil stayed on the street, they don't have a problem. Where it got onto lawns they may only have to remove the top foot or two of dirt, since they're be getting to it quickly. But there'll be a massive crater where the leak is, as they truck off a whole lot of contaminated soil.

If they get to it quickly. You can't dig in the yards without wading in that shit, and sandy soil will soak it up quicker. The smell alone will linger for years. And asphalt will dissolve in oil.

.... and where are the cons at on this subject? Completely silent. Unless it happens in their yard, they don't give a shit.

ExxonMobil, FAA, Arkansas cops establish flight restriction zone, threaten reporters who try to document Mayflower, AR spill

Reporters documenting your oil spill? Order them out of the area and threaten them with arrest if they refuse!

They could document it from the air? Order a flight restriction zone!

Here's a piece of trivia for you: At the end of this video, what is Uncle Jed pointing at?

[Leo Lyons]

His own real life home?

Nope. Guess again. Hint: you don't see it on TV anymore.

[O Really]

Cigarette ad?

Cigarette ad?

Correct! Winston cigarettes was the first sponsor of The Beverly Hillbillies Show.

Jed was pointing at a large billboard advertising Winston's.

Granny used to say "Winston tastes good...like a cigarette had orta!"
Now, did you research your answer? Before posting the question, I searched to see if the answer was online, but didn't find anything...good going!

From IMDB:

In the network broadcasts, the camera changes to show that Jed is pointing to a billboard for Kellogg's Corn Flakes, the sponsor of the show. As the car drives past it, the theme song continues, changing to the then current slogan "K-E-Double L-O-Double Good. Kellogg's best to you".

I have a video clip of a long Flintstones cigarettes ad. Apparently the tobacco industry realized that "children are our future."

No, but the "don't see on tv" was a really good clue.

Shucks! I gave too good of a hint.

I don't recall ever seeing Kellogg's on the billboard, but Kellogg's may have been a co-sponsor and later a primary sponsor.
I see that comments can be added or updated to the IMDB site which would indicate that corrections to the info can be made

I've seen it. I remember it from the original early episodes (product placement: remember those ginormous bowls of Corn Flakes Jethro used to eat for breakfast?) and have seen it- though rarely- on syndicated reruns that aren't trimmed by an additional 2-5 minutes for more commercials. That's irony.

[O Really]

Speaking of ads you don't see anymore... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMqd5EQXD-g

[Leo Lyons]

Moonshine, horny secretary, cigarettes, hot blonde hillbilly, Jethro clearly stoned - ah, the good old days of wholesome TV.

Oh well, upstaged again. I still say Winston was the first!

Hard to believe this hot blonde hillbilly is now 80 years old!

Speaking of ads you don't see anymore..

Ahh the memories! Reminds me of some of the early issue hardware I used.
