Save Mr Splashy Pants! (This is actualy serious)

[Halitosis]

Save Mr Splashy Pants the whale from being hunted by Japanese "research" vessels. http://www.greenpeace.org/international/campaigns/oceans/whaling/great-whale-trail/savesplashy


Ok, now some of you might know about this some of you might not so here's the background:

Greenpeace started an internet voting system to name a whale. Someone on the interwebs spotted this and decided to have some fun, he chose the name "Mr Splashy Pants" and then trolled it round several webgeek/fun forums like b3ta.com
Mr Splahsy Pnats won with 73% of the vote: http://www.greenpeace.org/international/news/splashy-101207

Please sign the petition and stop the destruction of our whales.

gotta nuke something.....

[draconi]

Greenpeace is not a friendly organisation.

[Slyce]

Whales are friendly though.

Can't we just nuke some more third-world countries instead? We seem to be really good at that. Also solves world hunger and poverty issues.

[Gristle]

Yer but then our trainers and ipods will be too expensive :evil:

Make the whales pay i say!

brilliant solution mr. Sainte... very...

I knew you would agree !

[Deadlyshadow]

i'd say harpoon the whales and give meat to some 3rd world nations.That's it

[Gristle]

Diamond Bullet of genius between the eyes.

[Bruticus]

Whales are horrible creatures, everyone keeps whining about saving them, but have you ever actually looked at a humpback whale? They are like something out of Dune. Kill them all I say.

[Karmak]

gotta nuke something.....

Nukes? You want to use nukes to eliminate whales or 3rd world countries? How horrible! you monsters, the radio-active fallout will spread to 95.74% of the world's surface if you want to kill that many. You succeeded in killing the entire human race genius.

No my foolish friends, a far better solution would be to create a virus that attacks a certain DNA sequence only, we could kill every 3rd world nation and the whales in 1 quick and brilliant move.

Ain't science beautifull...

[Suplicium]

My genial shaman, I'm not so sure 3rd world nation's inhabitant's DNA is really different from 1st-2nd world nation's inhabitants, this kind of belonging to recessive genes differences more then actual DNA differences, so at the end your plan would be a little too effective, and you would indeed nuke all whales and all human race... well this would really end the problem after all.

Wales isn't a third world country anyway, they are just a bit backwards is all.

Do i look like a dna specialist to you? wel do i?

Do i look like a dna specialist to you? wel do i?

Having done several years of molecular genetics, i can say that it would indeed theoretically be possible to engineer a certain viral process that would only be fatal if you had a certain gene. However, such a thing would also be very very hard to make and to keep contained safely.
Also, since we (1st or 2nd world inhabitants) typically are the ones with recessive genes (most 3rd world inhabitants' traits and appearances are dominant compared to ours), it would probably be just as dangerous to us as to them... it's almost impossible to pick a gene that would purely affect them and not us.

This proves how superficial is talking bout "races" while speaking of human beings!

[Bruticus]

It's good that this thread was titled 'this is actually serious' otherwise people might have started talking all sorts of random crap.

[asool]

Mr Halitosis,

Asool.

Like Manchester?

[Gristle]

Nuking Manchester would hardly make it a worse place to live tbh.

[The artist formerly known as Ramone]

I was enjoying all the Whale nuking talk... but then it got personal...

170 Mancunians die each year from whale attacks. Whilst this is not as big an issue as heart disease or cancer (or stabbings), i have always supported the heroic and just cause of whale nukers. This is a serious issue people and one we need to look at in great detail worldwide. Please, please nuke a whale, whenever you see one.

Need more convincing? This is a real account of a child affected by a whale attack.

My name is Steven, i am 14. I will never know the joy of life in Manchester as on my 13th birthday a whale ate my stabbing hand. Now i wander the streets of Withington and Fallowfield looking at all the innocent pensioners happily enjoying their giros. These pensioners live without fear! Without stabbings! All because of whales and their taste for human flesh!

Now you may think that this is a good thing. Your granny is safe to enjoy her giro in peace. But you'd be wrong. Picture this if you will.... Old women with cash... in our pubs, using our jukeboxes, eating our dry roasted, winning our jackpots on the fruit machine... what if they suddenly discover a liking for rap music? They've not been able to leave the house before! They might love 2Pac! All of a sudden you walk in your local and theres grannies in shellsuits with massive medallions calling you "G" and "Brother from another mother".... Parking spaces - forget it! Hummers take up 2 spaces each, and grannies fucking love hummers.

Elton John calls it the circle of life, the natural order, the status quo...

Whales must die!

Post of the Year!

Awesome post, but that's the reality in Merseyside
