Whales and Wiener Dogs

The man has a big head...seriously, his head a like a basketball with an Andy Warhol wig

I’m surprised that Paul Watson from Whale Wars doesn’t have green skin, because that man is puuuuuuuuuure money!

He’s been trolling the Animal Planet Whale Wars message boards to his “great amusement.” Here are some highlights from his blogged reaction to all you haters:

• Of the haters, “A few of the critics are professionals paid by the Japanese whaling industry to pollute the Internet with their blogs.”
• “I so love to piss people off, as it helps to stimulate their wee little brains and it helps to make some people think”
• “The Whale Wars forum reminds me of what Senator Phil Gramm of Texas said recently when as an advisor to the McCain campaign he declared that America had become a “nation of whiners.”
• No, he’s not doing it for himself…don’t you think that for a minute. “I am only writing this at the bequest of some of our supporters who requested that I do so”
• “As a ship’s captain, I don’t have to answer to every armchair whiner with a brew in his hand and some Cheetos in the other”
• He’s not standing on the shoulder’s of giants…vice versa, “I also know that I have commanded more voyages to the Southern Ocean and the coast of Antarctica than Shackleton, Scott, and Amundsen combined.”
• “My great, great Uncle, a famous poet in the Klondike once said, ‘talk is cheap, it takes money to buy whiskey.’”
• Clearly he’s heard many people talk like a sailor, for he himself says, “In other words, produce the evidence to back the accusations or else you’re nothing more than a two-bit gossipmonger grousing over the picket fence to some other loser who validates himself by spewing ignorance like vomit onto his tie. On the sea we call such self-appointed experts “t’ween deck lawyers” not fit to lick leftovers from the scuppers.”
• What he says here is completely logical, “Any accusations that Sea Shepherd is a violent organization cannot be backed by real evidence. Does Sea Shepherd destroy equipment used in illegal activities to kill whales and to poach fish? The answer is yes. Is this illegal or violent? The answer is no. If it were illegal we would be arrested. If it were violent someone would be hurt.”

But there does seem to be plenty of evidence to support his assertion that Sea Shepherd saved some whales from Japanese scientists.
