'Mom! Get the oil off!'

This is an amazing and disturbing piece of video. Tar balls covering a beach near Pensacola -- and the beach is open to the public.

Not only is the beach packed with people, but they're clearly allowed to swim even though there's oil washing ashore and probably toxic dispersant mixed with the water. And people are packing Goo Gone to get the oil off their skin.

What the hell is going on?
