Size Matters
Just how big is BP's mess in the Gulf? When you go to If It Was My Home, they superimpose a properly-scaled image of the oil spill over a map of the area you live in. It helps to put everything into perspective.

Muddy Waters
Someone in SoHo took out their anger over the mess in the Gulf of Mexico on a BP station.
In reality, however, the act really only inconveniences the owner of the station—likely a franchise owner who has no clout with British Petroleum. Now, on the other hand, if someone happened to be in Westminster, England and wanted to do this to the company's corporate headquarters, it might be a little more effective. Not that I'm saying you should, of course. I think throwing mud at their headquarters would be totally reckless and irresponsible.
No, you should throw crude oil instead.
