Geauxjira.mov
Geauxjira is a brief homage to some famous scenes in Ishiro Honda’s movie Gojira (1954), better known in English as Godzilla. Whereas Godzilla was created from nuclear explosions, Geauxjira is a giant crawfish spawned by leaking crude oil. On April 21st, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded off the coast of Louisiana. Eleven people perished in the explosion. As we made our movie, thousands of barrels of oil leaked every day on the Gulf of Mexico’s floor, causing the biggest environmental disaster in our lifetime. Moreover, we’re terrified about the ramifications the oil will have on our economy and lives. In making a parody there is a danger of giving the impression that we find this calamity to be funny. In fact, the opposite is true. We’re angry and frightened about the uncertain impact of this disaster. If you’re interested, we’d invite you to do two simple things: first donate to the Friends of the Laffitte Corridor (folc-nola.org a non-profit organization designed to convert a rail line in the heart of New Orleans into a bike path. Second, try to reduce your oil consumption. We hope you enjoy our movie.

wouldn’t wanna suck that head – BP sucks enough- let them suck it!
If only it were this easy.
Great Vid! But this is just more evidence that we need to do away with the Monetary System & switch to a Resource Based Economy in which resources are considered precious & are the common property of all people. Not controlled for profit by the few, wealthy elites where spilling resources actually INCREASES profits! Scarcity makes prices go UP! This system worked yrs ago but now it is Obsolete, like politics is. Google Zeitgeist Addendum & Peter Joseph-Where are we Going for the whole story.
Loved it and shared it all around…Thank you for bringing some humor to our tragic situation. Keep ’em coming!
If only it were that easy.

‘Oh no! They say he’s got to go! Oh no Geauxjira!!’
Great film…only in New Orleans
AWESOME!!!! I wish we could end our problems with a bottle of hot sauce. This video did make me laugh which has been hard to do since the oil spill began.
A failed corrupt Government is all around us 100X Bigger than Katrina 10 bigger than Valdez
To LONG TO LATE TO BIG
Katrina was believed to be caused by nature who can fight off nature
Valdez was caused by man and government
This new government 911 was caused by man much like the towers to bring on war over oil
Today we have a war here going on over oil bring home our troops failed government we need them here and now An investigation with nothing to see just make up.
Wake UP America
