Internet Meme of the Week: BP Spills Coffee

Unless you've been living under a rock with no access to television, Internet, radio or any other news source over the past two months, you have heard about the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. But what you may not have heard of is the BP "coffee spill," brought to life in the UCB Comedy group's new viral video, "BP Spills Coffee." With over 9 million views on YouTube since its release less than a month ago, the video mocks several failed BP attempts to clean the oil spill. In the clip, BP executives frantically dump garbage, ping pong balls and even their own hair while they attempt to clean the coffee spill that threatens their laptops as it spreads across the conference table. The BP executives even miss the obvious opportunity to wash away the coffee with paper towels, which they instead use as paper in order to map out their plan of attack. Given the international news coverage of the oil spill, this coffee spill is certainly making a splash of its own.
