It was called "The Mommies" (how apropos). I'm actually shocked that I can remember that after 8 solid years of drugs & alcohol, but the mind is a wondrous thing. And if you ask me Google was right on target if it wasn't able to scrape the bottom of the pop culture garbage can and find these ladies.
I can see past a lot of this bullshit because A) I actually remember their meteoric rise to daytime television and B) the early 90's were a strange, confusing time... BUT what's going on with those Disney princess Halloween costumes? Wardrobe!
No, I agree that the spill is directly BP/Transocean's fault for not following safety protocol and not having the technology to fix the spill. I'm just saying that it's a cop out for everyone to rail against them and boycott them as they get in their cars and just buy gas somewhere else. The situation in the Gulf is horrible and disgusting, but that ecosystem will rebound. Mother Nature can handle acute situations. It's collectively everyone's fault for not pushing their government representatives to fund alternative energy or changing their consumption habits. BP is selling a product that there's a market for. No market for oil, no oil production, no spills. We've been having this conversation since Nixon. Although not an expert I'm pretty well-read on environmental issues, I can assure you that all of the greenhouse gases emitted for transportation, building heating/cooling, production of food and goods, etc. in the past month is far more harmful for the planet than the oil in the Gulf.
Also, I didn't realize he had a stroke. I read it wrong (I was at work!) and thought he died on the boat whilst catching fish. So, a tip of my hat to you on that one Robin.
Downvote away! (silently)
This is probably why

Personally, I think they should show it. If only for the reason that people don't understand what happens before the food hits their plate. Maybe they'll appreciate those crab legs a little more if they know that some guy with a family DIED trying to catch them. Then again, everyone likes to blame BP for the spill when they do nothing to curb their own oil consumption or become willing to pay more for alternative energy. Off topic, but whatevs. I stand by my tangents.
I like how this is targeted at moms. Because, knowing my mom, she'd totally be like "Finally... an Amber Alert PSA for the rest of us!" or something like that. Also, boo!
