BP Oil Spill Fix #13 – Psychological Warfare?

June 17th, 2010. By AbiK

Here’s an idea on how to fix the BP Oil Spill: hit ’em where it hurts. It’s like some sort of psychological warfare tactic whereby winning the war comes not by committing excessive force on the ground (or in this case, in the water) but by playing mind games—finding your opponent’s mental weak spot. Though this one lacks the imagery conjured up by, say, being forced to listen to non-stop bagpipe music, I’m sure many of you would enjoy seeing it none the less. Robert P. seems pretty confident he’s found the solution—and I tend to agree with him. Here’s what he has to say:

Fix the BP Oil Spill Idea #13

“Start charging the management of BP personally one million dollars a day. If this was charged to them today it would be fixed tomorrow morning.”

Short, sweet and effective. Exemplary use of emotional intelligence. And, not only preemptive but also highly punitive. A two-birds-with-one-stone kind of solution.

Thanks Robert P.!
