The fallout from the oil well blowout in the gulf continues, and BP is definitely NOT on Santa's "nice" list this year.

But have you ever wondered what financial impact the disaster has had on BP? Well the folks at VisualEconomics.com did, and they put together a mind-boggling chart that expresses the loss BP experienced... well at least the loss their shareholders expereinced.

The chart shows what BP could have bought the world for Christmas if they used the money they lost to buy everyone a gift. Instead they decided to pollute the gulf so bad that our children will probably still be dealing with the mess long after we're gone.

Is it bad that the chart made me smile on the inside at their huge financial loss?

Check out VisualEconomics.com to see the chart. And when you're done, pick your jaw up off the floor, and go out and do something nice for the environment... unlike BP.
