Very cool solution.
Wait a second. This video came out at the beginning of May and has since been viewed millions of times, and yet, AND YET, somehow, despite incontrovertible evidence right before your very eyes, somehow we aren’t dumping giant fistfuls of hay into the ocean and then scooping them out with a spoon? Unbelievable. It is almost as if people don’t even WANT to fix the oil spill. (Thanks for the tip, NakedPainter.)

Yeah but, like my dad always said, Hay doesn’t grow on trees.
I found them kind of adorable
mind boggling
I think you mean mind-bottling, like when your thoughts get all trapped like oily hay in a bottle.
Indeed LunaFreak. Indeed.
Poorly thought out, but still better than my idea of slowly eating oil every day so my body just gets used to the stuff.
Sadly their post-Katrina demonstration that proposed using ShamWOWs to dry New Orleans out didn’t catch on either.
Honestly I haven’t seen any better ideas, bring out the hay boys
I can’t believe a grown man wearing overalls is smarter than I am.
Oh goodness, I know I can.
That’s some WAY al dente pasta they’re putting in that balsamic vigarette sauce. Yum!
Were it only some kind of olive oil spill.
Hay, Hay, Hay, that’s what’s going on here.
Have they tried explaining this in British accents?
I’m pretty sure I’ve eaten at that restaurant. At least, I know I’ve had hay coverd in motor oil at least once.
It was college, everyone was experimenting with grass.
Upvotes and all the hay you want! XO
When you’re here, you’re drunk.
Did you know there’s a non-profit organization that collects hair trimmings from salons and sends them out specifically to clean up oil spills? It had a big initiative for people to send in their hair for the Gulf, then BP was like “This is actually way bigger than hair can clean up” and they were like “TOO BAD, WE’RE SENDING YOU ALL THIS HAIR ANYWAY.” I mean, what else are they going to do with irregular bits of hair?
Neat anecdote, Carrie. You might be thinking to yourself.
I tried to send my hair to them, actually. And this might be totally gross, but my ponytail is just sitting in my desk, waiting for this org to be like “Hey, go ahead and send us that hair now!” I guess Locks of Love can use it, since everyone else in the country is sending hair to the Gulf.
Either way, it’s a very thoughtful thing for you to do. I have short hair now for the summer and I hadn’t the forethought to do anything with my extra hair.
Yet another problem that America’s bald men cannot help with.
“Man, I wish I could help.” –Tom Colicchio, Andrew Zimmern and pretty much all men.
LOL, Tom Colicchio was the first bald American that came to your mind?
I was going to say something really ribald here but I will respectfully refrain.
Grasping at straws for a solution? ..more like grasping at straws for a joke
I’m always amazed at how quickly the cooking shows jump on the latest food trend. I tried oil-soaked gulf shrimp with field grains for the first time just last week. Delicious!

Great.
I knew that giant spoon George bush comissioned during his lame duck period was going to eventually come in handy!
I know these guys are from the South, but living in WI we have PLENTY of hay here as well as good ole boys who know just how to fix a problem like this. I felt a little homesick for the farm when I watched this. But now you all can see why I am still single…. men in overalls with beer bellies do NOT equate to hot, steamy romance.
On a much more ironic note, my ex-boyfriend from Waushara sent this vid to me this morning! LOL
I like how this vid takes place in a middle school science room. It makes it so much more scientific.
Buuuuut…. laugh all I want, it DID work!
How do we know they are from the South? Here in Ohio people talk like that. Same thing in Indiana.
I actually only went by what my ex-boyfriend said and by the fact that they seemed so ready to get the job done. I shall endeavor to check my facts more effectively in the future.
The overalls chap says something about there being two types of hay “here in the Southeast.” Plus they sound like Georgia or Bama guys. Plus … overalls.
There’s a Florida Gators poster on the wall.
stick me in a yogurt cup until 2012. PLEASE. Just let me out for the Entourage Movie. It will justify my stay in the yogurt cup.
I suspect it will work especially will in the Marsh Land of Louisiana.
Is it necessary to wear overalls when fixing the oil spill? I say yes. That’s been the main problem.
Am I the only one who is sees this and thinks “What the hell, it can’t work worse than what they’re doing now.”?

Man, I always wanted a boyfriend who is eight years older than me!
Nice and free places? Like the library?
Maybe I wanna? Maybe I’m GONNA!
