What Did They Know and When Did They Know It?


http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/07/06/70s-board-game-contains-eerie-bp-oil-spill-scenarios/

A nearly 40-year-old board game is getting a lot of new attention because of eerie similarities between the scenarios of its play and the 78-day-old BP Gulf oil disaster.

The game BP Offshore Oil Strike, which came out in the 1970s and is adorned with an old BP logo, revolves around four players exploring for oil, building platforms and constructing pipelines all in the name of being the first to make $120 million.


What did they know?  Everything!

When did they know it?  Forty years ago!

And they put it in board game form!

Everybody's favorite form!

Just to fuck with us!

Bastards!
