Gulf oil leak Spawns The Blob

New Orleans -The oil-drilling rig that blew up and sank last week off the coast of Louisiana continues to leak barrels of oil daily into the Gulf of Mexico, unleashing longtime supervillian The Blob into international waters.

The amoeba-like alien has been terrorizing marine life in the Gulf of Mexico for the past two days, consuming everything in its path as it gets bigger and makes its way to American soil

“This mutant will consume everything in its path you see, if we, the American people, don’t put a stop to it,” President Obama stated in a less than encouraging podcast from the White House.

It remains unclear whether the juggernaut is a creature from outer space, a mutant or something else entirely, but the U.S. National Guard is doing everything in their power to defuse the potential threat.

“We don’t know much and I don’t know if there’s a Wolverine or anyone out there, but X-Men, America needs your help,” National Guard recruiter Pat Smith said.
