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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

South Park did it better.

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

They are pirates and deserve a pirate’s fate.

Believe it or not!

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

I want to see every one of these eco-terrorist commis scum die in their quest to halt a legal hunt.

Hopefully the Sea Sheperd pirates will get sunk for good this year.

The show is kinda like watching the “Three Stooges at Sea”.
