I’m surprised Mothra didn’t pluck the sailors out of the sea.

Sea creatures are getting revenge for what the Japanese did in the last episode of South Park.

They should have been outfitted with one of Captain Nemo’s squid zappers.

Don’t feel bad for them. Idiots are still killing off whales (they say for ‘scientific study’, and that friends is BULL CRAP).
It pains me that part of my reasoning puts me on the side of Greenpeace. My actual solution would be to sink the japanese whalers AND Greenpeace ships altogether.
