Thank you Stephen Colbert.

Amidst all the doom and gloom, Colbert swoops in to save us from the absurdity in "All's Well That Ends Oil Well." His latest target is the report of a 22-mile oil plume still lingering under the surface of the Gulf, and the kick off of shrimping season, despite conflicting viewpoints about the current safety of Gulf seafood. The FDA reported seafood is safe for being "tested below the level of concern for health risks from petroleum compounds." His response: "Below the level of concern for health risks...mmm! My mouth is watering already!"

I think my favorite part is when Colbert really wants to know how long he has to pay attention to the aftermath of BP's spill. After his guest informs him the effects will haunt the area for many years, he quips "I have to care about this for years? But there's going to be no footage of oil spewing from the bottom of the ocean. How can I care about something I can't see? The oil is not god." Amen.

You've been warned. Video HERE.
