I never eat the shrimp eyes anyway.

Who cares if the shrimp is deformed. Does it still taste good with cocktail sauce on it?

[Razzz42]

Beats me, I prefer grilled salmon.

BP will skate on this,

So have you seen the evidence, and could you publish it here on FR?
Might this just be another bees affected by global warming thing:?
Might this be another Polar Bears swimming out to die in the ocean...further than ever before.. thing?
Personally I won't believe it till I see a live deformed shrimp on my plate.

spilled oil doesn’t do this. if it did, then sealife would be deformed constantly

the source of the problem is the crap they poured into the gulf to “break up and disperse” the oil

(remember how “well” 0failure dealt with it??)

Evolution in action! Selection pressure! Random mutations! Wait - that’s bad? I thought that was a good thing?

I wouldn't blindly accept the writings of a lawyer who makes it his career "fighting major oil companies and other polluters." And neither should you.

Shrimp is great when it is sauteed in 10W-30.

Most species of shrimp only live for one to two years some exceptions up to 7 years. My question is how did blind shrimp live long enough to get netted? I’m callin BS on the whole story.

“At the height of the last white shrimp season, in September, one of our friends caught 400 pounds of these,” Kuhns told Al Jazeera while showing a sample of the eyeless shrimp.

So Al Jazeera is doing the reporting too!

Wiki and Jazeera! All the news that's fit to spin!

5W-30 in our house. Tasty, but with less calories.

Why in hell would anyone believe what is posted on Wikipedia????? WTH!!!

Yep - this morning's news had a cat with backwards legs - I'd wager a month's pay the cat never came into contact with the Gulf of Mexico waters. They probably never noticed the damage that nets do to a portion of each catch.

Is is possible the above has - in some way - been brought to us by way of our EPA? Their MO to 'crucify' any industry that competes against Gov has now been made 'transparent ' .

This certainy works around Election time to justify Obama,Inc. per their role in destroying oil industry in Gulf.. Seems all too convenient; their finding way to tell public who it is, that wears the 'white hat' - while reminding all, 'they' are still saving America from our arch enemy 'oil'.

Too much tin foil here - or not. . .

Their MO to punish/destroy any industry that competes against Gov has now been made so 'transparent ; that even the sceptic can see.

Seems all too convenient; their finding way to resurrect fear while 'reminding'' public who it is, that wears the 'white hat' - and why this Gov justified in 'crucifying' America's arch enemy 'oil'.

Blind shrimp should be easier to catch! Bigger catches, lower prices. Mmmmm, eyeless shrimp, skewered and basted in butter, chili powder and lime juice on my new Green Egg.

I see no reports of a US state implementing a shrimping ban this year when I do a Google search.

The ambulance-chasing attorney blog this is from has no links.

And you linked to Democracy Now - a rabid left-wing news site - and claim it is balanced.

Forget oil spills, I smell ozone.
