Are you angry at the corporate polluters who bought the election? Are you BPissed? Well, we’ve got the perfect way for you to blow off steam! It’s called The Big Online Oil Spill, our new game that allows you to show your friends what happens when dirty energy companies like BP run the show.

What is The Big Online Oil Spill? It’s a new experiment in online social gaming built by some friends of Greenpeace over at Vanksen. It gets the oil flowing online instead of offshore, but you get to call the shots of where it spills instead of BP. Now that the spill in the Gulf is out of the headlines, The Big Online Oil Spill allows players to keep the spotlight on oil giants by splashing digital oil all over the web, one page at a time. It works like this: you simply go to the game, select almost any website or Facebook profile, squirt some oil on it and share!

So, are you game? Then I have a challenge for you: head over to The Big Online Oil Spill, and spill some oil on five of your friends' websites or Facebook profiles.

Not only will you be able to turn your anger at corporate polluters in Washington into a few laughs, but you never know what you may unlock. And who knows, if enough people play, it may just help prevent the next disaster.

Also, be sure to provide us some feedback on the game by commenting on this blog. It is an experiment and a work in progress (for example, the game can't spill oil on every website). We want to know what you think!

Enjoy the game, and don't worry, it's OK if you start chanting "Spill Baby Spill!"

Note: When you spill oil on a website, you are not actually effecting the site but creating a temporary layer on it for comedic purposes.
