Deanna Proach has always loved writing and she has a huge imagination. Her intrigue in the French Revolution and the dreaded guillotine has lead to her upcoming novel "Day of Revenge."
In university Deanna never really thought of pursuing a career in writing until she got into the thick of writing Day of Revenge.
Actually, it was an independent course she took with her creative writing professor, Dr. Robert Budde, that compelled Deanna to pursue a career in writing.
Deanna's love for the French Revolution dates back to her high school years. Her grade nine socials teacher, Mrs. Sproule, really inspired Deanna to appreciate history and to learn more about it. What struck Deanna in particular about the French Revolution was the infamous guillotine. Why such a gruesome killing machine intrigues her so much, she says she cannot "honestly give an answer."
Deanna was born to write. As a child she wrote and illustrated the Creepy Book Series, a series of short stories that entailed the adventures of her life as a child growing up in Sechelt, a small town situated on the South Coast of British Columbia.
Deanna always knew she wanted to write a story set in revolutionary France, but didn't want to create characters that fell prey to the vicious revolutionaries. She wanted to create characters who were brave enough to stand up and fight injustice regardless of the consequences. And, she adds, "I just think that everyone should learn about the French Revolution." It was such a violent event and many of the ideals--both good and bad--that we adhere to today were founded during the French Revolution.
'Day of Revenge' will be released from Inkwater Press sometime in mid-October 2010.
Below, is a synopsis of 'Day of Revenge'.
Military Captain Samuel La Font may be headstrong and ill-tempered, but he is not about to flee his war-torn country without a fight. He is determined to stay in France and wage a war against the revolutionaries.
For the greater part of the year 1793, everything works in Samuel’s favor. He doesn’t have to convince his close knit group of friends to stay behind with him. They willingly endanger their lives to support him. His Corsican based family has even recruited several skilled soldiers who are more than willing to die for Samuel’s cause.
But, towards autumn, fate takes an unexpected and dangerous turn. Late July, Samuel sends his best friend, Pierre La Metz, a letter outlining his organized plot to march on Paris, assassinate Robespierre and the other leading revolutionaries and then place the young Louis XVII on his rightful throne. But, his plans are severely thwarted when the letter is discovered by a band of Jacobins. When Samuel receives news of Pierre’s brutal arrest, he rushes to make his young friend, Emmanuel d’ LeVasque, his right hand man even though he knows Emmanuel is far from being the most skilled swordsman in all of France.
Now that Robespierre knows about the letter, he will not rest until he finds the conspirators dead or alive, even if it costs him 10,000 more heads. This spells danger for Samuel and his friends. To avoid the guillotine, they must work much harder to conceal their identity and their hatred.
Since Samuel’s soldiers are in his home state of Corsica, he and Emmanuel must leave their friends behind for a short time to prepare for their war.
When the men arrive in Corsica, things become progressively worse. Samuel ends up in a conflict with his hot-tempered cousin, Maximus and Emmanuel falls in love with Samuel’s youngest cousin, Lisabetta. When Samuel learns of Emmanuel’s intent to bring her back to mainland France with them, he is enraged. To add insult to injury, more than half of Samuel’s soldiers, including his entire family, abandon him in support of Maximus. Their treacherous and cowardly behaviour infuriates Samuel. Yet, at the same time, his burning desire to avenge the tyrants who are ruining his country urges him to carry on with his plans.
Thanks for sharing that sneak peek synopsis with all of us Deanna!
I just love how creative the Sunshine Coast is and truly wish Deanna every success with her new novel. How exciting to have a book published. I can't wait till its printed and available. Well done! Look for Deanna's book launch coming soon!
Thanks everyone for reading my blog, all your feedback, comments, likes and story suggestions. Best Wishes, Duane Burnett
Protecting prehistoric sponge is not as easy as a taking a luxurious sponge bath but I guarantee seeing it protected for future generations will give you that same glowing feel good feeling.
The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) have been working for years to protect a sponge once thought to have disappeared with the dinosaurs but found alive and well right here in British Columbia.
The group is calling for protection of all these glass sponge reefs located through out the southern Strait of Georgia, after successfully gaining some recognition towards protection in Hecate Strait in the Queen Charlotte Islands on World Oceans Day.
Gail Shea, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, has declared an “Area of Interest” for a future Marine Protected Area around the reefs, considered one of the great wonders in Canada’s oceans.
Can the coral in the Strait of Georgia be protected too? Should we be protecting the marine floor? I think yes. It is as critical to our planet as the forests and air. So why do so many of us still make a business out of destroying it?
I have worried for at least 3 decades now about the constant pounding the Strait of Georgia takes from pollution run off. The basin is like a giant cauldron, so anything and everything we can do to safeguard its health is critical. It also takes a blood bath in plastic pollution.
Check out this story It's A Whale of a Plastic Picnic where I show photos of two fist fulls of plastic I picked up off the beach and a video of the whale that's been hanging out in the filth, rumoured to have had a baby calf. I envision feeding a bucket of plastic to the whales open mouth.
I hope you will agree and help get the word out there. These days its as easy as clicking "Like" and all your facebook friends instantly know about it!
The issue came to my attention today, when a volunteer from the Sunshine Coast Conservation Association (SCCA) asked me to sign a petition outside the Daily Roast in Sechelt, BC.
I went home and Googled it only to find myself more confused. The article said protection was forthcoming so why were they passing a petition around to protect them?
Veronica Lo, Marine Conservation Planning Coordinator for the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society - BC Chapter emailed to say:
It’s easy to understand the confusion – there are two separate geographical groupings of sponges, and the ones that DFO have announced as an Area of Interest as a potential Marine Protected Area are the northern group, located in Hecate Strait. That was great news on Oceans Day!
However, there is another group of glass sponge reefs located in the Southern Strait of Georgia – these have not been afforded any protection. While smaller, they also rare and unique, and provide habitat for a multitude of marine organisms. The SCCA are our partners in trying to achieve protection of these southern sponge reefs, through fishing closures, and eventually permanent protection as a Marine Protected Area.
And what a tremendous help and wealth of information. I don't think I can say it any better then to share with you the information Veronica passed along.
GLASS SPONGE REEFS OF BRITISH COLUMBIA: BACKGROUNDER
For the past decade, CPAWS-BC has been working to protect the globally unique glass sponge reefs in British Columbia. Glass sponge reefs were first discovered on the coast of British Columbia in 1988, in Hecate Strait. Smaller glass sponge reefs have more recently been discovered in the Southern Strait of Georgia. Thought to have been extinct for 30 million years, they are the only known living glass sponge reefs anywhere on Earth. The sponge reefs are composed entirely of silica, hence the name “glass” and are extremely fragile. They have been growing on the seafloor at depths of 200 metres since the last glaciers retreated over 9,000 years ago. The four sizeable sponge reefs in Hecate Strait reach heights comparable to an eight-storey building (approximately 25 metres) and span about 1000 square kilometres. Since their discovery, numerous newspapers and magazines have featured these special marine organisms.
Sponge Reefs at Risk
The glass sponge reefs are not only significant because of their rarity, but they also provide vital habitat to a wide range of marine animals including octopi, shrimp, squat lobsters, sea cucumbers and fish including rockfish, ling cod, skate and sole. Unfortunately, these glass sponge reefs are very fragile and, like corals, have very slow growth rates. Studies have shown that approximately half of the sponge reefs have been damaged by bottom-contact fishing (trawling). As a result of efforts by CPAWS-BC, Fisheries and Oceans Canada instituted fishing closures for the northern reefs in 2004.
Marine Protection – A Solution
In recognition of the rarity of the glass sponge reefs, CPAWS-BC applied for UNESCO World Heritage Site designation for the Hecate Strait sponge reefs. The application was denied, as in order to be granted this special status, the sponge reefs need to be permanently protected by the federal government.
CPAWS-BC has worked extensively with sponge researcher Dr. Manfred Krautter from Leibniz University in Germany to spread awareness of these incredible organisms to the public. CPAWS-BC and Dr. Krautter conducted a speaking tour to costal communities in B.C. including Sechelt, Tofino, and Parksville. The tour included a presentation to the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans about the urgent need for long term protection with MPs and DFO staff, and meetings with the Deputy and Assistant Deputy Ministers.
Over the years, many local politicians have written to the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans to voice their support for marine protected areas around the glass sponge reefs. The Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities, and the Union of BC Municipalities have endorsed permanent protection of the sponge reefs in ‘The Glass Sponge Reefs of BC Resolution B171’.
Not only have the sponge reefs struck a chord with the wider community, they have also fascinated scientists. In 2008, CPAWS-BC co-hosted a Glass Sponge Reef Symposium in Sidney, B.C., with Natural Resources Canada, to facilitate collaborative research on sponge reefs between various academic institutions. Natural Resources Canada has been an important partner in prioritizing research around the glass sponge reefs.
In addition to establishing MPAs and interim protection measures for specific areas, CPAWS-BC actively promoted a coast-wide strategy for glass sponge reef protection. CPAWS co-hosted a Coral and Sponge Conservation Strategy Workshop with Fisheries and Oceans Canada to gather scientists and managers in discussions about an overall conservation strategy for sponges and corals in B.C.
The consideration of the glass sponge reefs in Hecate Strait as MPAs is an important step toward the long-term protection of reefs. CPAWS will continue to work with Fisheries and Oceans Canada and other stakeholders to complete the designation process within the 2012 timeline promised by the government.

I think about the tragedy of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and how we are loosing coral reefs around the world. I sure hope we can protect what he have in our own back yard!
Below is some information about the organization and links to find out more.
Again, thank you for reading my blog, all your great comments, feed back and story suggestions. Don't forget to share them around, they are doing absolutely no good sitting here on my blog all by themselves. Duane
CPAWS likes it wild. As Canada's grassroots voice for wilderness, over the years, the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, CPAWS, has helped to protect over 400,000 square kilometres of threatened areas. CPAWS-BC is one of 13 chapters across Canada and plays a key role in establishing new protected areas and in improving the management of existing parks.
We achieve our goals through advocacy, education and cooperative partnerships with other environmental groups, industry, governments, First Nations and the public.

Message from the Memory of Wildlife fb page administrator:
Dear Administrators and Members of all Gulf (Oil Disaster) pages,
Since the Deepwater Horizon tragedy occurred all over the world people are waking up and taking notice of what is going on in the Gulf.
This event is not just affecting Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama; it is affecting all of us on a global level.
In less than three months, we have observed 11 men die on an oil rig, we have observed a boat captain commit suicide, we have observed several animals dying, and we have observed our precious Gulf of Mexico/Atlantic Ocean become a giant cesspool of oil, dying animals, smoke, and Corexit.
The effect of this has extended to our economy, our moral, our political mood, our culture, our health, our planet’s precious animals (dolphins, whales, fish, birds, turtles, and insects), our marshes, our fishermen, our dogs and cats, our families, our hearts and our souls.
We feel lied to, betrayed, angry, sad, scared, baffled, and kept in the dark and at times so very powerless. Yet, amazingly, we are “uniting”, taking action, creating change, fighting, working hard, sharing, bonding, helping, in any way we can. We are not asleep, we are wide awake.
We are sharing information, organizing events, reporting news, volunteering, networking, motivating, creating art, music, videos, spreading awareness. In so many cases we are setting aside “ideology” “ego” and remaining humble so we can remain proactive and positive. GREAT JOB EVERYONE, KEEP IT UP. There is a long road ahead.
To better connect us all, I have compiled a list of Facebook pages relating to the Gulf Oil Disaster. There are many different aspects to this situation, so there are a variety of pages. I have attempted to include each and every page that I am aware of. If you do not see YOUR group on this list, there will be instructions on how to add it (when we update) at end of this list.
NOTE: For anyone that is “reporting” on the oil spill, please see the link on journalistic integrity at http://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp . Last of all; please use common sense when reading articles. There are people that are not going to follow the rules of “journalistic integrity”. Also, there is a huge difference between “news” and “opinion”.
Thanks again for all YOU are doing. We all must continue to work together.

Help your pets beat the heat
May 27, 2010
Hot dogs belong on the barbecue — not in your car.
With the lazy, hazy, hot days of summer steadily approaching, the BC SPCA reminds pet guardians to play it cool with their animals this year, and offers tips on how to keep pets safe.
First off, don't leave your pet in the car.
"Every year, we receive hundreds of complaints about dogs left in hot cars because many people still don't grasp the danger of this situation," says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. "Even if you park in the shade and it seems cool outside when you leave, the sun can change direction and heat up a car's interior in no time."
Last year, the BC SPCA received more than 500 complaints about dogs in hot cars across the province.
The temperature inside a parked car at this time of year — even one that's in the shade — can climb well about 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit). Dogs can withstand high temperatures for only a very short time — usually just 10 minutes — before suffering irreparable brain damage or death.
If you see a dog languishing in a hot car, call the SPCA in your area or local police. Before the authorities arrive, members of the public can help prevent a tragedy by attempting to find the animal's guardian. If the car is in a mall or grocery store parking lot, for example, ask to have the owner paged over the building's PA system. If a window on the vehicle is cracked open, try to increase the airflow inside by fanning the pet with a portable fan.
In addition to not leaving pets in the car at this time of year, guardians should use caution when exercising their pets under the sweltering summer sun.
"A lot of dogs will run and play to the point of exhaustion, and it's the guardian's responsibility to make sure that doesn't happen," says Chortyk.
Chortyk also cautions against cycling with your dog, and if you run with your dog, try to run early in the morning or later in the evening when the sun is lower in the sky. Also, try to stay away from asphalt because it can burn your dog's foot pads.
"Whatever you plan to do with your dog this summer, always bring water and the number of a vet with you so that you're prepared in case of an emergency," says Chortyk.
Signs of heatstroke in pets:
* exaggerated panting (or the sudden stopping of panting);
* rapid or erratic pulse;
* salivation;
* weakness and muscle tremors;
* lack of coordination;
* convulsions or vomiting; and
* collapse.
If your dog shows symptoms of heatstroke, you should:
* immediately move the animal to a cool, shady place;
* wet the dog with cool water;
* fan vigorously to promote evaporation. Do not apply ice, which constricts blood flow;
* allow the dog to drink some cool water; and
* take the dog to a veterinarian.
You can help the BC SPCA raise awareness and educate guardians on proper animal care and welfare, by supporting the Monty Fund for Community Education & Outreach. Please donate today.
Thanks so much for reading Duane's World. Greatly appreciate it. I still miss Tundra every day but no he is in my heart and spirit forever. All your comments, feedback, support and love is so awesome! Duane Burnett
It's Always A Good Day on the Sunshine Coast!

The Story Behind
Oil BP Naughty to Nature!
by Duane Burnett
LINKS + PHOTOS + COMMENTS + BIO's
"this video is moving much faster than the clean-up efforts in the Gulf ..." :-( Ron Berdahl.
Video, Comments, Photos,
About the Artists, Lyrics,
About BP, Links....
"I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being." - Abraham Lincoln.
Oil BP is a parody of 1991's OPP by Naughty by Nature, the lyrics emphasize the importance of leaving oil dependency highlighted by scenes of the actual oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico
"Nice to hit the 10,000 in one week.. As Duane says, "oil is the new tobacco" some love it some hate it, either way it's one of humanities biggest stupidities. It's really hard to quit smoking but even harder to quit your car. WE NEED REGULATION... We need it now! It's completely unfair to our future and it's selfish to take comfort in our oil dependency at the expense of our future. Please ask your government for change today." Marc Buzzell
"Retards. I will be a petroleum engineer in 2 years, and I am the son of a petroleum engineer also. I have no idea why people are making this o out of proportion, especially a bunch of damn Canadian's, BP can buy all of Canada if it wanted to. These disasters ARE VERY RARE, and overall, the oil industry is safer than many other industries, I mean, how many accidents happen i9n a decade? 1? These are just stupid people trying to make a huge fuss of all this. Stupid green freaks." slobhinav on youtube.
CAST/CREW
Produced by Videographer Marc Buzzell, the parody stars rappers John Jamin Wagler & Johanna Renée, Caitlyn Turcotte and Duane Burnett as BP's CEO Tony Haywire.
BACKGROUND by Marc Buzzell
The video came about one night as I was captivated by all the horrific imagery of the disastrous oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico on YouTube. I started feeling helpless, saddened, angered and confused. This was the perfect blend of emotions that inspired me to create a hip hop parody.
I saw a couple parodies on YouTube with millions of views which lead me think that a parody based on a popular song would be an effective means to portray a message.
“Who’s down with oil BP” were the first lyrics I wrote and that transferred to doing a parody of 1991’s OPP from Naughty by Nature.
While writing the lyrics I was thinking about our need to lessen our dependency on oil and how this can be done.
“This oil BP thing should be a thing of the past and instead of hating oil BP we should see this as an opportunity to leave oil”, and that’s somewhat what’s reflected in the lyrics. We all have the power to make this happen.
But we need guidance on our path towards oil sovereignty.
Upon completion of the lyrics I pitched the idea of a music video parody to John Jamin and Johanna Renée. Their response was phenomenal. They immediately saw this project as way to make a strong environmental statement.
At this point, Caytlin Turcotte joined the project to help with vocals. Straitsound Studio in Robert’s Creek, British Columbia was supportive of our concept and produced the track.
We recorded the track and I started story boarding the shots for the video. At this point, Duane Burnett was cast to play Tony Hayward's alter ego, Tony Haywire, BP’s CEO in the video. He loved the track and agreed to play the character bringing a wealth of props, costumes, talent and ideas like the plastic dolphin with him.
After a half-‐week of shooting and a few days of editing we posted the video Friday July 2nd. We got 5000 views the first weekend from the people in the Gulf of Mexico, Europe and all around the world. Our message was received with accolades, rave reviews and positive feedback flying in. In just a few days the views have been increasing at a viral rate.
The best part about this project is creating something positive out of the situation.
We all had hope in our eyes when we started this. Our feelings for the people and wildlife of the Gulf of Mexico were suddenly slightly eased by our creativity.
We all agreed the message was “end oil dependency” and we all brought aspects to the project that shaped it into what it is.
We were all tired and sleep deprived from recording the video on top of our regular life obligations, but we did it. At one point I remember driving back home and we were communicating to each other only in song, It was hilarious. I had tears of laughter.
The artists I worked with are amazing. These 4 people completely made themselves vulnerable for the cause.
The very talented and gorgeous Johanna and Caitlyn added a little sex appeal to hit our market.
And I can’t deny judging by our feedback that I think the guys did their share too. The performances were spot on.
But more than anything the artists (JJ, Johanna, Cait and Duane) went out of their way to make this a success.
The lyrics of the original OPP song are very quick, so the success of the track has to be allocated to the vocalists. Secondly to give up one’s free time to contribute to this vision on a volunteer basis is a very good sign of friendship.
The team was very punctual and resourceful for making this happen in such a short time frame. Also we must acknowledge many community members helped us indirectly by letting us use there location and/or props.
In conclusion the artists, the recording studio and myself sent out this message to all of you out there and the only way we can be rewarded for our work is if you play it forward.
Marc Buzzell grew up in rural Quebec, in the Eastern Townships right on the border of Vermont USA, and is completely bilingual in English and French.
The story about how he ended up in BC is a long one with a whole bunch of wild twist and too many plot points to even create a story arc. But the short version is, Marc tree planted as a young adult and then did community support work, where he met this "gorgeous young blond" (Meg) who he is still with 9 years later. He then followed his dream of video production and went to the University of Capilano North Vancouver. After years of working in the film and video industry in Vancouver Marc moved to the Sunshine Coast.
Marc is a full time video producer, he writes, shoots and edits. Most of his work comes from wedding videos and corporate videos, but he also contracts his services to the film industry. During his free time Marc produces independent videos. He is currently producing a travel series entitled The Green Traveler hosted by Robert Doane. Which documents an eco-journey through the Pacific Northwest. For more information visit http://www.marcbuzzell.com
Johanna Renee is a singer/songwriter/emcee from the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. Johanna grew up on gospel music and Hip-Hop, and after a five year stint as a school teacher is now putting her energy into original edutainment. She has worked as a vocalist with various local music producers, and is about to begin recording her first solo album. http://soundcloud.com/jomega
John Jamin is a classically trained pianist/guitarist/composer and producer. He grew up in Boulder Colorado and started university as a music major in Ohio at the age of 16. He's performed at the NAAM trade show in Nashville, all over the US and Canada, and is currently producing his second album of original material (electro acoustic folk-rock) at strait sound studios http://www.straitsound.com
Caitlyn Turcotte has an extensive background with music and art. After graduating from the Alberta High School of Fine Arts, she hit the road as a street performer. Her travels lead her to the Sunshine Coast. BC where now, she sings to the ocean everyday.
Duane Burnett is a "community spirit" award winning Master photographer, photo journalist, television host, actor, social media networker and more. His images have been seen extensively on the Sunshine Coast and around the world in numerous newspapers, websites, brochures, map guides, magazines and on the big 50ft screen before the local movie theatre starts. The Sunshine Coast has commented that Duane and his photography captures the “essence and spirit” of the natural world and community; that he is "THE Spirit of the Sunshine Coast;" “extraordinaire,” “absolutely fabulous;” “bloody marvelous;” “magic;” “a credit to our community;” "A social networking success story!" "Mr. Community Spirit!" "Mr Sunshine!!" "the #1 shaker and mover on the Coast" "The hardest working man on the Sunshine Coast!" "you honor the coast with your presence and your talent of giving" "I am sure one and all will agree.. that 'you', Mr. Community.. rock, totally!!" "one of the most handsome, talented, creative, kind, caring, giving, wonderful individuals on the Sunshine Coast" "Thank you Duane, for your unending hospitality.. a warm smile and welcome"

Ah! i was looking forward to this! you guys are great. i tell ya i CAN"T STOP thinking about it. and yeah, super long over due time for change...and as i type below my window some dude screeches his tires and freak out the cyclist. WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER.
Iris Pie
AWESOME! I recognize you guys from when i lived in the creek for a couple months this spring:) Brilliant job, and How Inspiring! way to turn a heart breaking subject fun and palatable. I also love the way you turn the finger back at ourselves, and point out that oil really means gasoline...yeah this oil spill was caused by "the man" but we are the ones who drive the monster. IT is our responsibility to demand change with our dollars. I am lucky to live in a place now that has one of the nations largest bio diesel refineries, free buses that run on bio-diesel and has bio-diesel pumps available to the masses. I hope this becomes a reality in more and more places. Thanks for this kick ass video. much love from North Carolina to the creek and all you beautiful creekers ♥

Great lyrics Duane, I especially like this part from verse 3 "I must let go it’s time for our dependency to oil and leave BP says “ We will try our best while the whole world watch and grieve” Fossil fuel stop right now it’s time for your monopoly to go Yet we cant help but watch oil companies laugh and continue to grow" How true is this we need to reduce our consumption and put these oil companies in their place! Thanks again.

Maggie Blue
yes, spread the message with creative, positive expression!!!
Feral Sage
It's great: spokesman's mouths full of drivel to pour into the open ears of the television addicted, an indictment, not only of BP CEOs, but of all of us who have a responsibility to the earth and our fellow creatures to change our destructive ways. Give us more, Duane.
Don Power
Loved it! I always liked the original OPP - old skool. Loved what you guys did with it. You're all very photogenic and professional - (while having lots of fun too!) What's the next project ;)?

Southern california (family) have sent it out and out and out and said Hippy Hoppy this is wonderful!
Germany.....loved it but dont think they understood all the words. The good part was that it didn't matter because the visual point was so well done!!
Local friends from Tsawwassen-Ladner...... Love it and you Duane!
Local Realtors.....are LTAO laughing their ass off....lol

April Qureshi
Duane... It's great! Did you put all that together? I love the role you play! It took me a second to figure out it was you :)
MJ Milne
I see Naughty by Nature added the captions to their YouTube song. Good on ‘em. They wonder what BP stands for = British Petroleum. It is owned by a British company but only about 8%. The number one holder of the majority of stocks is J.P. MORGAN CHASE of the USA. Dick Cheney’s Haliburton is also in the mix there somehow.
MJ Milne
Did I say I was a fan of Naughty by Nature? I am. Kids with a conscience---I love it!!! ~MJM ;-) Read the book about the 12 Keys: http://www.12GoldenKeys.com

YEAH SUNSHINE COASTERS! You guys rock...especially you sexy BP babes. Love the dolphin shot Duane. Do you have any other blow ups? i was thinking it could be cool to show it at the Conscious Convergence event on Thursday, ...and then again, it may not fit the Mayan theme....but it definitely worth a public showing..Good Play!!
MrRocketmailman
I love it when the chick slaps the cash outta BP's hands. It's like Tony taking it from his mama! I love the insert shots, every single one emphasize the lyrics so well, definitely not a million dollar music video but worth a million dollars none the less. This is a definite MUST SEE for all human kind in this day and age, plus it's funny as sh!t

Retards. I will be a petroleum engineer in 2 years, and I am the son of a petroleum engineer also. I have no idea why people are making this o out of proportion, especially a bunch of damn Canadian's, BP can buy all of Canada if it wanted to. These disasters ARE VERY RARE, and overall, the oil industry is safer than many other industries, I mean, how many accidents happen i9n a decade? 1? These are just stupid people trying to make a huge fuss of all this. Stupid green freaks.
