Tonight is the premier of this seasons "Whale Wars" where a fat guy takes a crew of volunteers thousands of miles into dangerous waters to make a big stink about the Japanese phony research whale killing.

And what does he ever accomplish? Nothing, oh wait a second, I guess he just prompted Australia to take their best trading partner, Japan, to international court over the matter...... but he's stll fat! (s/)

[jra]

I’m not gonna berate you, but it’s dumb to side with these lawless idiots who try to hurt innocent Japanese who are pursuing a LEGAL ACTIVITY.

I think the guy with the scraggly beard is Watson’s secret gay lover—not that there’s anything wrong with that.

[SVTCobra03]

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

[jra]

The ‘little vessel’ is obviously captained by an idiot.

Right before the impact, you can see prop wash behind the Ady Gil—meaning that they inexplicably hit the gas right before impact.

So you're OK with DELIBERATLY ramming a ship on the high seas.

I watched the video of this porker steering his ship into a Japanese whaler while his retard crew threw some kind of chemical in dozens of glass bottles. If there is one bunch of terrorists who deserve to be torpedoed, it's this one. How this guy is able to retain his master's ticket is beyond me. The Coast Guard needs to arrest him, and let him do 5 to 10 for reckless endangerment, steering to collide, and being a cow's rectum.

It's only a matter of time until it has a tragic outcome.

Yep,one can hope

[ohioman]

Whale Wars is a waste of space.

I wish the Japanese would also concentrate their harpoons on the idiots in the fat guy’s boat.

[faucetman]

I LOVE this show. I'm in a definite minority here, but I applaud what they do. I probably wouldn't agree with anything else they believe in. They are definitely inept. They know nothing about seamanship and are a big danger to themselves. Like Watson says, he asks the crew before they sign on if they are willing to die for the whales. I wouldn't die for one, but I don't want to see them killed in a Whale sanctuary under the bogus loophole of supposed research.

The slaughter of baby seals, (which they have fought against as well) is disgusting.

They may end up killing themselves in the process, but they know what they signed up for. I hope they do disrupt the whole Japanese whale fishing fleet in this sanctuary.

[ozzymandus]

South Park did it better.

[kbennkc]

Yeah, they didn’t just go after Kanye but Carlos Mancia too.

So many targets worthy of ridicule, so little time.

[antiRepublicrat]

You can also see the Japanese vessel was going to miss the little boat, but then you see prop wash come from the little boat as it accelerates straight into the Japanese vessel.

[Slings and Arrows]

> tragic

You misspelled “hilarious.”

[TheZMan]

Personal opinion, the video I linked is hilarious and just reward for sheer stupidity.

[Captain Beyond]

Maybe the whales will attack and sink the eco-winnies boat. That would be worth watching.

[GonzoGOP]

It's only a matter of time until it has a tragic outcome.

That's why i watch. There is nobody on the show that I like or can even remotely empathize with. The captain is an insane megalomaniac. The crew are idiots. The Japanese are ruthless and playing word games with the law. If they all killed each other in some grand harpooning ice choked bumper cars with ships disaster I would be hooting like a football game. Save the whales, harpoon a SeaHippy.

[faucetman]

“It’s clear to anyone the Japanese veer sharply starboard to smash the little vessel”

I agree. No question. I don’t know if the rest of you are watching the video upside down or what. It is clear the Japanese ship ran them over. They may have just meant to come close and scare them, but they almost killed the crew.

[TigersEye]

They are pirates and deserve a pirate’s fate.

[Oztrich Boy]

Believe it or not!

This man was NOT the most ridiculous douche to pretend to be a ship captain

[Retired Greyhound]

I just re-read my comment and I don’t see where I suggested that I’m ok with ramming a ship.

[at bay]

Wow. Powerful argument you present that they are pirates. I never thought of that. “Because I said so.” (oh please you shills for the phony research group don’t post all of your phony bs at this point)
