Whale Wars Premiers Tonight
Animal Planet Channel ^ | June 4, 2010 | Animal planet

Posted on 06/04/2010 11:30:05 AM PDT by at bay

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/)

You know, this announcement is, in a sense satirical, but only because any admiration of these guys somehow crosses the party line for so many freepers on this website.

A few will come to his defense, most will berate me and commander Watson, but ridicule is nothing compared to the risks these brave individuals take for a just cause they believe in.

I will, instead, be watching South Park’s episode where they focus on whale wars.

Sorry.

It's a black comedy about a bunch of young people who fall under the influence of a maniac fraud of a ship captain, and sail an old freighter ship not rated for icy water into the Antarctic so they can feel good about something.

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

The only way I’d ever watch an episode of these clowns is if the idiot hippies got a one way pass to Davy Jones’ Locker. Even then I’d probably just catch the highlights on youtube.

Piracy “illegal violence” on the high seas should be met with arrest and trial.

Life’s tough—it’s even tougher if you’re stupid. Oh, how these idiots are going to find that out in a BIG way at some point. The ocean is a very unforgiving mistress, and they’re going out there completely unprepared to deal with a REAL crisis.

I can’t wait for the day they mistake a North Korean vessel for a Japanese one. On second thought, I’ll never get to see it because the tape will be destroyed in the blast.

It rather reminds me of how the mullahs do business...get a bunch of stupid kids to carry insane plans youre too cowardly to attempt.

Frankly, these guys are no different than the much hated Somali pirates. Whatever they get is richly deserve.

I think whales are magnificent animals that must be protected, but these people make me root for the Japanese.

Fine, you go ahead and root for the killers of the mammals you say need protecting, commander Watson managed to make a big enough stink that Australia is finally taking action. I guess you would say “Just writing the government of Australia would have done the same thing”. Dream on.

I am against Japanese whaling. I’m also against piracy.

I believe in breaking the law for a just cause, but this ain’t exactly the Underground Railroad.

As long as these pirates are willing to accept the consequences, let them go for it.

Thank-you. It’s clear to anyone the Japanese veer sharply starboard to smash the little vessel, then instead of coming to their aid, attempt to knock off the survivors with their high powered water cannons.
But Paul Watson is still fat! (s/)
