Title: "Totally Tubular Turn in Exxon Valdez Case!"

Blurb: "Dudes and dudettes, it's like karma, totally! The bigwigs over at Exxon and that Captain Joe dude are being held accountable for that mondo gnarly oil spill. The victims could score $15 billion in damages! So next time you're out surfing those sweet waves, remember to respect Mother Earth, or she'll totally wipe you out!"
