Stopping the oil spill has apparently befuddled the best minds in science and engineering. Why not bring in the ad folks? Crispin Porter + Bogusky, the people behind the creepy Burger King and creepier Orville Deadenbacher, have collected 17 ideas from staffers over at executive creative director Andrew Keller's blog. The concepts include an A-Team-style solution with a large quantity of explosives. What good could come out of this mini-crowdsourcing exercise of non-experts? "The seeming luxury of not being able to look at a problem the same way others have or simply with a beautiful naiveté is what human advancement has been built on," Keller writes.
