Why can't they just pull a condom on the oil spill?

Seriously, I know it would have to be large, but why can’t they just put a very large plastic bag underwater over the plume and vacuum it into waiting tankers? If you watch the footage online, it’s clearly escaping from a single point that appears to be containable underwater if you put a large upside down funnel near the top of the spout.
