"Leak"? I don't think so....

Why do they keep calling this bit in the Gulf a "leak"? It's not a leak.

Water dripping from a pipe is a leak. Grease coming out from the bottom of the hibachi through a crack in the base is a leak. When I use the bathroom, I'm usually taking a leak.

The Gulf? The oil has been gushing out of that thing. That's why they call these things "gushers" on land. The fact that it's uncontrolled (or barely/slightly controlled) doesn't change that. So don't minimize this colossal fuck-up by calling it a "leak." You're insulting my intelligence.
