BP Oil spill game from the 70's

07/06/2010 • godlikeproductions.com

All a bit of a coincidence or was there a message involved ? David Harrison of North Lincolnshire kindly donated an amount of toys and board games, all in beautiful condition, to the museum over the last few months and in amongst the offerings was a very obscure and hard to find BP Offshore Oil Strike game boxed and in mint condition. Museum curator Alan Goldsmith was delighted to receive the game saying that he has never come across one before. Made by Printabox (Scotland) Ltd in collaboration with British Petroleum Company (BP) the game was released in the early 70s and the remarkable parallels between the game and the current crisis out in the Gulf of Mexico are amazing. The currency on the money in the game is in dollars and there are playing cards marked Hazards, Blow out! Rig Damaged. Oil Slick Clean-up costs $1m. Mr Goldsmith said: “The picture on the front of the box is so reminiscent to the disaster with the stormy seas, the oil rig and an overall sense of doom. I

Die Daily - The same articles posted herein on FF, are the same posted on GLP. Only, GLP reports the news more quickly. So I'm booking your post a flight on BS Airlines.

Yeah, CP, that is more than obvious, but any time you see godlikeproductions you automatically know it's crap. We luuuuuuuv them in rather exactly the way we luuuuuuuv you. godlikeproductions is one of the more notorious disinfo sites out there, but we thought only a few losers didn't already know that, so we didn't mention it. Well from time to time I mention it here. Perhaps I should again now, since you seem even slightly more confused. Actually, just read all about it here: http://100777.com/internet/glp

Initially, the domain was owned by some well meaning illiterate retards who were misguided but good people, you know, concerned and patriotic. But then...well, have a read! I know of nobody that takes them even remotely seriously. But perhaps you'd be a perfect fit over there.
