It seems that now there are folks, however crudely, selling their wears on the internet trying to make a buck off of the disaster in the gulf.

Those folks have been using that tactic for years. They put up something to hack half the population off, and then they switch it for something palatable to that half, so the scores of angry responders go there and a good number buy their wares.

By the time angry folks from here will click on it, it'll have some Remember the Victims thing up.

The beauty of capitalism: If you don't like it, don't buy it.

Yeah??? Check out eBay. The grifters have the ball and they're running with it. A buddy of my bf, is in the car transport business. He has orders for several cars in the LA area. Told my bf to tell him to check with FEMA, due to all the pollution.
