Flipping through channels there is a preview. Could we be so lucky?

I know Capt. Paul Watson is wanted by Interpol again. Just maybe the harpoon boats can do the courts a favor and imprison him.

As far as the show, it's pure comedic genius, nobody can be as dumb as these tools, so I say it's scripted.

I don't know they went to Iceland last year. But from what I heard was the Japanese were banned. AP refuses to pay. I'm thinking they bought some time again to present lies as truths.

But the show was pure comedy as it rivaled rasslin in pure enjoyment as a soap opera for men.

The show itself is comedy because of how over dramatized it is. I just feel like the cause is looked upon as a joke now.

I saw one show...

They encountered one ship.

They then pulled up beside it and were throwing water balloons or something at the Japanese.

And then they ran back to the Captain's galley and were high-fiving each other.

All the Japanese were just standing on the deck looking at them like..."wtf?, huh?"

If anything they were a danger to others and themselves. The majority of them were just run-of-the-mill environmental volunteers with no sailing experience. Getting on those little speed boats out in the middle of the ocean was probably the stupidest thing any of them could have done.

Anyone remember an episode where they actually had someone climb aboard one of the Japanese vessels and he was immediately apprehended. He took with him some paper about laws against whaling and then the Whale Wars captain tried to use the media against the Japanese about taking one of their guys or something (as if jumping on someone's ship like that is legal)

I always cheered for the Japanese when I watched the show. Damn hippies should have gotten shot for being so annoying.

Basically rotten butter bombs. I always thought it was funny that they were throwing stink bombs at a ship that PROCESSES WHALES. I doubt the fricker smells like roses to begin with.

I tell my son - which really pisses him off - that this is the reason liberals aren't in control of budgets or p&l's - never seem so much waste.

One mini-season they went after legal tuna fishermen. They waited until the seasons tuna were caught and the tuna were in a huge holding pen made out of nets. They cut the net releasing tens of thousands of tuna. I would have shot them.

As someone who has been branded as "whale/dolphin killer", I have turned many a fire hose on these tools..They have even followed ships into ports, and screwed with crews..They ARE as dumb, and adamant about their cause, as they appear to be on television

how do they get their money for "funding"? I think the fisherman should start using real ammo and that would have them re-evaluate their decisions.

The one where "he got shot" was great.

Although no way he got shot.

Also if they were real pirates they would do like the SouthPark episode and actually stop the whalers.
