The BP Oil Spill

Since it first erupted on the news, the media has been bombarding the public with all kinds of guesstimates about the scale and scope of the BP oil disaster and has spawned countless infographics trying to convey the size of the oil spill. If It Was My Home has created the simplest and easiest one I've come across, with no numbers or figures or comparisons to previous oil spills. All it is is a picture of the oil spill overlaid on Google Maps. Awesome, frightening, and definitely drives the message home in a clear and concise manner.
