Breaking: oil has stopped gushing into the Gulf of Mexico
The day many feared would never come:

There is some relief today as BP has successfully shut off the flow of oil that has been gushing non-stop into the Gulf of Mexico for more than 84 days.

5. Please avoid using that word.
We've had all the "breaking" we can handle at this point.

6. Now we can look forward to the effort to make everyone forget it ever happened.
Look for phrases like "Accidents happen!" and links of how many "good" things BP does to come from unexpected places.
