Shove a really fat person in there to clog up the hole. There, problem solved.

I would like to point out this

Huh. It appears KeeLoGee had a similar idea.

I would drain the oceans and build a 9000 tera-watt laser on the moon. Then, I would hire the cast of 'The Core' to burrow in under the reservoir from China, dissolve the oil and replace it with sugar, corn syrup, water, butter, and peanuts. Next, I would power up the laser on the moon and fire it at the gulf of Mexico, instantly caramelizing all of the sugar and producing the world's largest batch of peanut brittle. A multi-national mining initiative would then be established to extract the peanut brittle and deliver it to Africa, thereby ending world hunger in the process.

Leave it alone. Obviously if God didn't want the oil to keep gushing out he'd miracle the hole shut.

HELL YES!  I love that show!  If anyone can fix it, it's Mac.  Give him some ducktape, a lightbulb filament, baking soda, a bottlecap opener, and his trusty swiss army knife, and he'd not only cap the leak, but take down the corrupt oil buisness in the process.

I agree, we should leave it alone.  We should just let the free market regulate itself.  Hell, we should give BP another tax break.
Who cares if they made 67 billion dollars in profit last year?  If we had cut their taxes more then maybe they would've self-regulated themselves to impose the safety standards on their oil rigs which they successfully lobbied against for years.
We really should lay off BP's back.  I mean, sure they don't hire American workers and pollute our coastlands but that is the price we pay for the luxury of driving our Hummer H2's with "drill baby drill" bumper stickers.

What I would do is I would relieve BP of any financial culpability and have the government subsidize all risks and damages that BP and every other oil company takes so that the price of the damage they cause is shifted onto the taxpayers rather than the oil companies.

Oh wait...we already do that.  So ok, yeah we shouldn't do anything.

I won't engage in partisan political discourse but I do think it's necessary to bring in government when discussing solutions related to this disaster. BP is deliberately downplaying the extent of this disaster for the sake of protecting their shareholder's profits. I think the government should be given complete control over this cleanup so the disaster can be properly monitored and we can seize all of BP's assets afterwards to cover the expense of the clean up and to compensate the families of the people they killed.

At this point I don't think there is anything we can do other than wait for the source of oil to be depleted.  It is the greatest ecological catastrophe in history and it's only going to get worse.
The problem with the oil cap is that the water is too cold and the pipes freeze before any long term clean up can commence.

Edit:I understand that this is supposed to be a joke thread but I just don't see how anyone can find humor in this.  Laughing at this is is like laughing at the holocaust if you ask me.  What has been done to our wetlands and our oceans is an absolutely unforgivable crime.

Anyways, back on topic. Perfect wormhole technology and siphon the spill through a man made wormhole into space.

No, that won't work, than we'll have to clean the oil off the aliens it spills on.

[--Master of All--]

Obviously, the wormhole would be pinched off creating a closed loop of time to contain the spill in. Honestly, this is like Physics 101.

HaHaHa where'd you take physics? When I took physics 101 we strapped force measuring instruments and went on roller coasters.
