On Animal Planet.
These people are nuckin' futs!
I'm a tree hugging hippy
I was mildy interedted in that show
then I saw the live action drama unfold when they dinged the helo rotor
my interest dropped
then caght a few minutes when they were discussing how they would like to get a few of their crew
"captured"
by the Japanese
All interest turned into disgust
this is a glaring example on why enviromentalists get labeled as terrorists
Hmmmm..so far..kind of a dumb show.
Wow, I'm surfing the DMF and flipping channels and come across the show and this thread. These people are nuts. Everyone just looks at the crazy old dude and asks, "What do we do now?" Interesting group of people they've got there.
..follow the teachings from The Art of War. ^^^
WTF?! ???
Oh, yes. They have plainly taken leave of their collective senses.... and the Capt. is crazy as a shit house bat!
I have to say that, silly rotor melodrama aside, I enjoyed watching it. Yes, these folks are nutjobs, but it makes for fun TV! And, for the record, it was CLEARLY the bow line handler's fault that the zodiac flipped over. CLEARLY
Hmm . . . And the supreme court just said we can use active sonar again . . . Maybe I'll get to meet these jokers.
Insane!
The captain says - Go over there, throw things, invade Japan's sovereign territory, and if they arrest you, we'll call you hostages.
And they DO IT!
If I was captain of the Japanese ship, I'd have thrown them back. If they drown, oh well.
Dave, if you meet up with 'em, blow 'em out of the water!
I watched that. They really manipulated everything about the Japanese. From the press release photos to just about everything to make them look bad.
It was entertaining television to be sure.... that said I will not watch it again. I think that even acknowledging these groups gives them a sense of credibity... and I was sad to see Steve Irwins name drug into that mess, and his wife did it, shame on her.
How could they not figure out how to fix the copter blade? One call would have all had given them all the answers.

I was really hoping this involved giant lasers strapped to a pair of whales with amoured tales confined to one giant tank and forcing them to fight it out over a limited supply of plankton. That would rock.

Wow, no kidding! We need to give 'em a call, and boy aren't they going to feel dumb.

Name the amount. I'll pay whatever it takes to make THAT happen! [bow_down]
This show is kind of dumb. If they are so against the Japanese why not just sink their ship. Or be a sniper and shoot anyone on that comes on deck. Shit happens in the ocean. Maybe buy a submarine next time guys. You want to be a pirate then be a f'in pirate and stop throwing stink bombs its so 5th grade.

Saw on CNN today that the Japanese mothership for the whaling fleet left port today for the annual whale hunt, so evidently all of this season's shows were filmed last year.
Gee, it sure is a coincidence that their being aired just as another hunt starts, huh? [roll]
i've been following these eco-terrorists for a few years.
i would feel no sympathy if they got run over by the whaling ships
i think to give them a show only makes it seem as if they condone their actions.
at least peta tries to come up with other alternatives instead of just being asswads about it.*
*no i don't like peta and never will. they are asswads as well, they jsut try harder to make it look like they aren't

It's make the beast with two backsing retarded. the show makes animal rights activist look dumb, unorganized and unprepared . I had high hopes for the show but unfortunately it worked against them.
Although I too feel like blowing up and sinking all the Japanese whale fishing ships, and all the shark hunts they do where they just cut the fins off sharks while still alive and throw them back in the ocean for them to drown I think the entire country of Japan should be sunk into the ocean, but thats just me.

oh man I actually burst out laughing when I opened that and saw what you were talking about...
MacGyver: "You'll need so soy milk, tofu, hemp rope, one Birkenstock sandle, the beads out of a hackie sack, 2 1/4 oz. of bong water and a heliocopter blade."

Not a stretch, really. Most are.
So while reading a piracy repoct on yahoo this morning I recalled a cruise ship being attacked by pirates off the Somalia coast a couple years ago. The used a "Sound Canon" to run them off... why doesn't the Japanese do the same thiing? I don't believe there are is any long term physical harm caused(unfortunately) and apparrently it's pretty effective.
