The following is everything BP could have purchased with the money they lost if they hadn't accidentally... the Gulf of Mexico.
Special thanks to Visual Economics for putting this together.

Wow..
I was wondering why some were cheaper than others and then realized you were adding them all up. That is just disgusting. And here I am struggling with a couple hundred dollars here and there.
Yeah…we could have used those ice cream sanwiches, The book as means of entretainment, the condoms, the ipads, and the clothing…although i wouldn't wear the last one…
no way… three wolf t-shirts are in
Some one probably made alot of money shorting that stock
BP really messed up in this one
HA-HA!!!
the real question is when will I get my 3 wolf tee and ice cream sandwich
I want my ice cream sandwich and 3 wolf and moon T-Shirt…
Curse you, BP… curse you all!
Nothing says national unity like a nation-wide wolf pack, whether that's a good thing or not…
Just think, they lost $100,000,000.00 USD from one leaking well. This doesn't count any of the other drilling sites they have in the gulf or anywhere else in the world. Just try to wrap your brain around exactly how much money the oil companies make every single day.
While we're on the topic, State Farm has been pushing that they have 40 million customers. At $100 per month on average, that would mean they are bringing in $4 billion a month in insurance payments. Insane how far apart the top and the bottom of the economy are, isn't it?
$100/month on average?!? What insurance do YOU have? The replacement organs plan?
Anyway, they may be 'bringing in' billions a month. How much are they sending out? How big are their costs?
State farm insures not just health, but businesses, farms, vehicles, renters, homeowners, etc.
Some businesses can pay thousands in insurance costs each month alone.
Mffpphple? The wife and I have had one accident each in the last 7 years and we live in Southeast Florida and we pay two hundred and change a month for the bare minimum auto insurance. And a lot more than that for our health coverage. OTOH the homeowner's probably isn't too bad since we're not on a flood plain. The flood insurance is a separate policy anyway, sigh.
I don't understand why BP is taking the blame for this when they didn't own or even run the rig.
They, or whoever was responsible for running the day to day operations of the rig have been proved (at least according to the media stories) to have cut corners, turned off safety devices/sirens, etc., that led to the failure…they bleeped up, big time…wish it weren't so…
If the last picture is right, then they could have even paid Dr. Evil's ransom money.
100… billion… dawlers, muhahahaha.
Epic post.
LMAO at the 2nd howling wolves T-shirt for Idaho xD
anycase they wouldnt have spent it otherwise…..;)
Where are my TWO wolf shirts? I want them now!
F*ck you BP!!!!!!! and all those involved……..Aside from the billions of $$ lost let's not forget the Sea/marine life lost and the ongoing cost it will take to repair the damage caused….Oh yea the 11 workers that died on that rig during the explosion(stepping off soapbox now)
You know that BP is not a guy… right? And perhaps the 11 workers are responsible for the explosion…
You need to stay relax!
[...] the money BP has spent on the oil spill…here is what else they could have bought: What BP could have bought instead (15 Photos) : theCHIVE __________________ I'll drink whiskey instead of water cause I can't stand to be sober in this [...]
I'll take the free iPad please
Brilliant!
I'm considering moving to Idaho so that I can get my t-shirts!
Wait, WAIT one minute, Is this one through thirteen they could have bought. OR. Could they buy each of the posts? CLARIFY Please
Uncertain of the intent of post. BP needs to clean up the Gulf. But if it had not happened they owe no one anything. What is the point of the post, besides more dogmatic anti-biz propaganda?
your the PR person for BP arent you???
Haters (stupid people), hate you LOLOLOLOL but i like you… you do your homework!
nope it was owned and run by 2 american companies and bp but obama hates britain so kindly forgot the american companies
the two american companies admited that there was safety cutting but the money coming in made them decide it was worth it greed outwieghs safety
sounds like it. BP and everyone involved should go under for their sheer negligence and lack of a backup plan in case of a disaster.
