Whale Wars....Are You Watching?

[Mike220]

One of these days the Jap Navy is going to start riding shotgun and this shit is going to get interesting.

I'm still waiting for the episode where the idiot with the crunched speedboat boards the Japanese ship to "arrest" the captain.

I'm shocked the Japanese have been as tolerant as they are.  These people (the Sea 'Shepherds') are total loons.  They throw stuff at the Japs, shoot stuff at the Japs, cut across their bows, etc ... yet when something happens it is all the fault of the Japanese whalers.  And all the evidence is on TV once a week!

I had to stop watching it because my wife got mad at me for yelling "Shoot the dumb F**kers" in front of the children.

As I've said before, Whale Watchers is what happens when hippies think good intentions will overcome reality.  As much as I bitched about fire drills, flooding drills, maintenance, field day, and all the other mundane bullshit that went with shipboard life, I knew that at the end of the day, worst case scenario, I could face pretty much any situation and stand a good chance of coming out alive and in one piece.

I harbor no such sentiments for these assclowns.  A galley fire would **** them over nine ways from Sunday.

Thanks for the article.  Looks like Bethune got off light.

I'm watching right now on APL because I'm bored. They are like children playing pirate. Everything is fun until someone shoots their eye out, of couse just like every liberal, it will be someone elses fault.

Great analogy.

They also run crying home to mommy when they're slapped or lose and demand that big brother comes down to the ballpark to protect them while they kick sand in the other players faces.

Galley fire?  Shoot, a class 'A' shitcan fire on the bridge would bring that whole mess to a crash.

I watched the show today.  Their freshwater/seawater systems were cross-contaminated (piss-poor engineering).  Lucky for them they were in the Antarctic and could get a few ice cubes down in their freshwater tanks (although they'll still be salty as shit).

Let them try that shit around Hawaii and see how far they get.  Stupid and lucky?  Luck runs out.

Are you serious?
 
 

Do you think they'll show the footage of the filthy hippies and the biblically tragic case of the shits they'll all have from drinking the bug juice?

Let's put it this way--there was so much seawater in their bilges I'd be deathly ****ing afraid to step foot on that POS rust bucket.

Heh, heh! I have the same problem with all the reality cop shows! "Toots" makes me change the channel!

Man, Sparky, you ain't just BSing there.  The frickin' polar oceans are no place for dysfunctional hippies and anarchists with a ship.  That thing is a deathtrap, it's a miracle they're all still alive.  I'm sure having some star (I've never heard of her myself, really) on board mugging for the film crew is just going to make the trip ever so much more focused, harmonious, and efficient, though!  That show is a great leadership teaching tool...about what not to do, in a 'Marine operations in hazardous waters as done by the Three Stooges' kind of way.

You are being generous.
A galley fire drill would make them pee in their pants.

BTW the PMS I didn't mind it was the damned spot checks that drove me nuts. LOL

[Bubblehead Ray]

I'd crew the SS Minnow before I'd get on that rust tub. The Captain is the biggest idiot on board, bar none. Eventually they'll screw the pooch completely and the poor Japanese will have to decide if they should save them or allow them to become douchsicles bobbing in the Antarctic.

Then  you would absolutely HATE working in a nuke plant.  Imagine you doing emergent maintenance to prevent the plant from having to shut down because of a 6-hour action statement, and you've got watching:

--Your supervisor
--Your manager
--Quality Control (doing an observation)
--The Shift Manager
--The Operations Manager
--Engineering (always in groups of at least 4 to "advise" while they all draw OT, of course)
--The resident NRC inspector

Ah, good times.

How many of those people are sitting by scratching their ass....

...and we wonder why Nuclear power is branded as a expensive alternative.

[Karin]

I haven't watched this show, but just from reading these comments, I'm astounded the hippies are alive at all.  Cross-contamination due to piss-poor engineering is the understatement of the week, so far.

hey at least you no longer have an XO and a Skipper who are one reactor incident away from crewing the number 14 boat at the Gorton Fish Company if'n sumthin goes zorch hovering around. :-D

Oh, don't kid yourself--refineries, dirt-burner plants, etc., would all do the same thing when $2 MILLION a day in revenue is on the line.

My daughter and I were watching one of the shows for shark week last night on Discovery Channel. Shit of the bitch if one of the guys on board the boat looking for sharks didn't have a "Sea Shepherd" jacket on.  Now I'm going to do a "Where is Waldo" type deal everytime I watch any similar type show.

I used to love nature shows until they all got so damn politically correct. Next thing you know there will be some enviro-vegans trying to train the tigers to not eat meat.
