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.

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

From IMDB:Leo Lyons wrote: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!
I have a video clip of a long Flintstones cigarettes ad. Apparently the tobacco industry realized that "children are our future."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".
No, but the "don't see on tv" was a really good clue.Leo Lyons wrote: 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!

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.rstrong wrote: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.

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.Leo Lyons wrote:Shucks! I gave too good of a hint.O Really wrote:No, but the "don't see on tv" was a really good clue.Leo Lyons wrote: Now, did you research your answer?

I see that comments can be added or updated to the IMDB site which would indicate that corrections to the info can be made
Oh well, upstaged again. I still say Winston was the first!Vrede wrote:Moonshine, horny secretary, cigarettes, hot blonde hillbilly, Jethro clearly stoned - ah, the good old days of wholesome TV.

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!
