Actor/ Director Kevin Costner has offered to help save the enviornment with his patented oil spill technology. The actor is best known for directing the boxoffice flop “Waterworld”. However, Costner was smart enough to pay scientists to develop a system to clean up the damage from oil spills. Who would have thought that a funny looking device from a bad movie would have the ability to save the world? This will definitely help Kevin Costner’s image more than his involvement in the Tiger Woods pornstar sex scandal and Russell Crowe’s Robin Hood prequel remake. Remember the scene from Waterworld where Kevin Costner drinks his own urine. Don’t watch if you have a weak stomach.

It looks as though Kevin Costner’s Waterworld wasn’t a complete and massive waste of time and resources after all. While he was working on that film, Costner paid scientists millions of dollars to develop a device that could do what his fictional character’s invention could do in the film: purify ocean water. Working prototypes of the device actually exist, which Costner has dubbed “Ocean Therapy.” Now, with the approval of the Army Corps of Engineers, British Petroleum has given the go-ahead for Costner to test six of his devices to help clean up the massive oil spill in the Gulf.

First, a little bit of background on the spill. The result of an explosion and fire on the Deepwater Horizon rig, the Gulf oil spill is currently sending over 210,000 gallons of oil into the water per day. British Petroleum have been trying everything to slow down the rate of spillage. In fact, some of their solutions have sounded pretty, well, silly. As usual, no one breaks the situation down better than Stephen Colbert. [/FILM]
