All The Apoplectically Ridiculous Reactions To The Ocean Being On Fire

As anyone who is not living under a rock is aware, this weekend saw part of the Gulf of Mexico set on fire. An underwater gas leak engulfed part of a pipeline in flames, taking more than five hours to put out and providing the world with the startling image of two opposing compounds at war with one another.

Naturally, the internet decided that such an eye-catchingly dystopian event was the perfect springboard for a smorgasbord memes and posts of varying degrees of derangement. After all, what use is the planet burning if you can’t get a few likes out of it? 

While the blaze is now reportedly under control, the footage remains an unsettling reminder of how much modern society has managed to screw up the environment as well as a touchstone for anybody looking for their five minutes of Twitter fame. As a wise dog in a hat once said, this is fine.
