Dramatic collision in Southern Ocean leaves anti-whaling boat damaged [w/video]
Grind TV ^ | February 25, 2013 | Pete Thomas

A controversial group opposing Japanese whaling in the Antarctic region on Monday released video showing one of its ships, the Bob Barker, being sandwiched tightly between two larger vessels: a Japanese whaling ship and a Korean refueling tanker. It also shows what's said to be a flash-bang grenade explosion near the stern of the refueling ship, Sun Laurel. The dramatic incident surely ranks as among the most tense in the years-long history of clashes between the whalers and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.

The only difference between these people and the Samoli pirates is the Samoli pirates are trying to make an honest living.

I oppose the japanese violating treaties like they think they’re the only ones who can do it. And think their lying about actually doing “science” is fooling anyone, it’s just insulting.

The sea libtard pirates are craptacularly nuts, though. If they both took themselves out I would not shed a tear for either side.

It almost reminds me of a Roadrunner cartoon. How could adult human beings do something so stupid? Oh, I forgot: they’re not human beings. They’re liberals.

One thing is certain. Those two large ships are not capable of running down the Bob barker in the open ocean and doing this if the Bob Barker didn’t place itself into position for it.

I believe the Japanese have been very patient with these pirates.’’Like anothe poster said. I would have put a harpoon thru the bridge of the Bob barker a long time ago.

Captain Larry Fine stated today; “We was minding our own business, when all of a sudden, we was surrounded by the Japs. They tried to squish our ship like a grape.”
First Mate Moe Howard added, “Our motor is all wet and she ain’t runnin’ too good, neither.”
Engineer Curly Howard said, “This is a real mess!”

I had to ask the admin mod to delete it because I neglected to attach a NSFW warning. :(

I took a year off. I’m not interested in making threads for the show any more but I might revive the ping list for news articles like this one.

A big ocean and they get between two ships carrying out refueling ops? I’d say some one on the Bob Barker needs to be tried and convicted of being a naval hazard or even piracy.

Having witnessed more unreps(underway replenishments) than I could count, the last place you would want to be is where the Bob Barker was.
