I would pay good money to see these hippies go to the Berring Sea and pull this shit with any one of the crab boats.

From the TV ads, it looks like the most unintentionally funny filmed event since "Purple Rain."

The program would be funny if it weren't so damned stupid.

I'm just relieved that they're spending big money on running a ship, helicopter, and small boats in the south Atlantic. It's better they do that than contribute toward another socialist Obama-tinged cause.

I wonder what they pay the crew?  I bet they volunteer for the season and get free room and board..The Captains more than likely get paid cash.. I wonder anyone know the details.. care?

It's all volunteer work.  I think the S-S.org is part of Greenpeace but I could be mistaken.

I watched a new(er) episode last night.  That idiot captain ran his ship right into one of those Japanese whalers and tore a hole in the side of his boat.  If those dumbasses sink themselves, it won't be for lack of trying.

It takes big money to run a ship that size, along with the accompanying equipment/boats/helicopters/support gear.

The people in the program are idiots -- pure and simple. They're looking for their 15 minutes of fame.

I don't want to see anybody get hurt or killed, but when these morons are on the high seas dicking around with seamen who have no compunction about using violence against those who want to interfere with their vocation -- no matter how despicable it might seem to be -- when they get harpooned or hurt or fall in the ocean, hey, that doesn't bother me one bit.

You make your bed, you lie in it.

There's already a thread on this circus in the DUmpster, so I'm going to merge the two.
Laughing at these guys is almost as much fun as watching DUmmies. :popcorn:

I am surprised the Japanese Whalers haven't killed any of them ... after all it is a huge way of life in Japan. and you just don't cut off someones income like that.

IIRC Capt DUmbass got thrown out of Greenpeace for being a DUmbass and started Sea Shepard to continue bilking fighting the good fight for the enviro-weenies.

If an episode doesn't end with the Japanese Navy blowing this thing out of the water, it ain't worth watching.

It is ALWAYS a wasted hour and you know it before you ever sit down to watch it but dammit you just can't see that much stupid in technicolor all the time!

The sweet, sweet sound of hippie tears hitting the deck always make my evening a little brighter.

I've heard of this show, but I really don't know the premise of it. I don't know what all goes on in this show. I am, however, a big fan of keeping the endangered whales safe. And really most whales.

I agree with you, but these guys are pathetic.  Watching these hopeless grabasses playing grownup in the middle of the Arctic Ocean beats anything else on TV.

I'd love to check out the show, but please tell me this. Do you see whale-butchering? I can't watch if so. But if not, I'd love to see what this show is really about.

Some of the earlier shows, yes.  You don't see a lot of graphic material, just a bunch of bumbling dumbasses on a rusty old boat.
