@japanesesweet, not a real REM song. It's a parody. As I said to chrisjoneschrisjones, Chris Morris is absolutely brilliant, and you should never trust a single thing that comes out of his mouth.
@tromky, you never want to listen to REM again because someone made a parody that sounded like them? Chris Morris would be laughing in his grave. If he was dead.
Ever since whale wars people have jumped on this liberal bandwagon against Japans whaling but they seem to ignore whaling in other countries. This exposes liberals for the sneaky two faced racists you truly are.
Icelandic whalers (and those in other countries) also get heavily criticised by 'sneaky liberal racists'. This song was just a parody of popstars' public persona of taking up fashionable causes being in conflict with their desire to make as much money as possible, cf. Naomi Campbell wearing fur and blood diamonds. Not that I'm overly fussed about whaling personally, but playing the race card is pretty pathetic.
@darkstar3x16, I think all whalers are cunts, personally. However, I must say I've only heard of the Japanese ones firing guns at and ramming anti-whaling protester boats. Personally I think they all need a Bird of Prey to decloak above them and scare the shit out of them. Then again, I'm a British Liberal, and "Liberal" means something different here - as in it actually, literally means "Liberal"
HOW would all the Westerners feel if Indian Hindus started campaigning that the US and Europe stop eating beef, as it is considered a holy animal in India?
You would all be up in arms about how it was none of an Hindu's business what we eat in the West - now pay the same respect to the Japanese, who have every right to eat Whale meat. Stop applying your western moral standards on other people like a pack of fucking lefty-moral-imperialist-contradictory twats.
@xxeternalbeautyxx maybe it's considered as a holly animal for you but it's not endangered they are breed for food ... whales and dolphins are going to disapear if we dont stop this cruel massacre ... why cant you understand that?? those people are distroying the planet they dont diserve any respect as they dont show any to the nature .. obviously ur an idiot anyway for having this kind of ideas . so i'm not gonna argue its gonna be pointless .
Japanese people are destroying the Planet? Last time I checked it was YOUR COUNTRY, FRANCE that broke international treaties and tested Nuclear Weapons in the Ocean: don't go throwing stones you ignorant leftwing twat until you've looked closely in the mirror and observed all the facts. The Japanese have been whaling for thousands of years, while France was nothing more than a province of Rome. Get off your high horse and stop flag-waving for the sake of it, moron.
who gives a damn.....lol alot of make up products and lotions and baby oil is made from whales sometimes baby whales even. So what is so different in eating them?
@luvyouOonot See but the thing is....if we do not kill them off eating them. Well then our pollution will kill them off anyway. So its a lose-lose situation. Just think how many animals and plants that are extinct because we tear down forests and rain forests. The number is staggering. Yet we worry about 1 animal. come on.
I'm just about to BBQ some fresh Minke Whale steaks. We're having it with salad and chips and probably a few beers.
Have you tried it ? It's really tasty, healthy and quite universal meat too.
It's got lots of vitamins, minerals, nutrients, trace elements, omega oils and it's virtually fat free. You can BBQ it, boil it, stew it, wok it, fry it, eat it raw, casserole it, smoke it and many other ways 2 eat.
@ihaveairlockers ...like I said - Neanderthol....everybody knows you don't serve beer with whale, even if it is BBQ'd. You serve wine, white, and NOT that cheap California shit.....
You get an A for promptness, but as a troll?...you have much to learn :)
I eat whale beef quite often and have done so all my life. I consume it most often with beer, but anyone is free to drink whatever they like when eating whale.
Whale beef is a deep red colour, much the same as Bovine Beef.
In fact, anything you can do with regular bovine beef you can do with whale beef.
And here in Norway, we have lots of Trolls. Norway is home of the Trolls.
@ihaveairlockers you quite disgust me just right now... hope u've got a good hidding place for the day when mother nature will take a vendetta ... hope u'll burn in hell for helping destroying the planet ...arsehole
Here in Norway we only harvest the over-abundant Minke whale. They are in plague proportions and over-populated. It actually helps their numbers survive by selectively harvesting small numbers.
1) We have a quota of 1052 annually.
2) We only harvest about 460 each year, less than half the quota.
3) Minke whales are classified by the UN as being "not under threat" and also "over-populated" and "not-endangered or near being threatened".
What's the title of this song ? I never seen a TV commercial for whale meat in Japan. I wonder who paid $20m ? It sounds good and should be used to promote whale meat sales.
@AVIATIO ... in case you didn't get it, the song was meant to be a joke. It wasn't meant to advocate whaling. And who really gives a shit? Whales are an animal. Animals are food. Get over it, pussy.
@WildlifeSeriaLKiller 1)Many people "give a shit," crackhead. If you don't care, then that's your problem, not mine. 2)Humans are animals, too. So that reason for killing whales has never justified whaling. 3)Many of the hunted whales are endangered, and further they contain high levels of mercury therein which are detrimental to human health. 4)You're a goddamned idiot. There is absolutely no reason for humans to be killing endangered whales for food. Hope a whale eats you, douchefag.
@AVIATIO ... Who the fuck are you calling a crack head? You're probably some doped up high school kid who lives in his mommy's basement jacking off to internet porn all day, so shut the fuck up.I'm not suggesting killing endangered whales,but in some places bordering northern Russia,where there are no stores,no money,no farm land, year round winter conditions, and poverty running rampant, whales are one of the only sources of food and certain coastal countries could starve to death without them.
@WildlifeSeriaLKiller Half the people who bitch and moan about whaling dont really care they are just jumping on the band wagon because it's seen as a popular thing. There are more immediate threats to the environment that nobody gives a shit about, for example species of bacteria that are key for nutrient cycling and soil infrastructure are going extinct due to human activity if they disappear the soil will turn baron and people will starve you dont see douche bags screaming save the bacteria
Last week, he broadcast a spoof of a song by REM, famously environmentalist rock stars, advocating the joys of hunting and eating whales for a secretly recorded Japanese TV ad. He spent hours studying and mimicking REM's elliptical lyrics and assonances beforehand: 'I feel I'd let myself down if I didn't'.
Please tell me this is not THE REM because I loved their music but if it is THE REM all their CD are going to be thrown into the middle of traffic and we will boycott REM.!
You are not making any sense .. calm down. You are in a frenetic denial, open your eyes! Do you hunt whales personally? Have you ever gone whale watching? Have you studied whales? Have your 'whale scientists' studied them??? Do you live in Australia, have you been here? How many Aussies do you know? Do you really and truly believe what you are saying? Your name is incredibly racist .. you are the racist.
I just assume they were on a wind-up or incurably stupid. Although I generally think tarring millions of people with a crass national stereotype is pathetic, I must admit I still think that everyone in Australia is either like Alf Stewart, Les Patterson or Shane Warne..
HAH !!! The Japanese deserve R.E.M !!! I swear, i reach for the razor blades everytime i hear this band - worst fucking sound on the planet!! R.E.M is when music just doesnt make sense????
this is from blue jam which was a radio show starring the very talented chris morris. i feel like the text and slides you added ruined a very funny joke. just my opinion though. if you wanted to troll rem fans you could have done so much better. :/
the point was to juxtapose the stark reality of whaling with sugar coated advertising that Morris was parodying rather than trying to make people laugh themselves a hernia.
Just to be a pedant, this was ripped from the 'Chris Morris Music Show', not Blue Jam.
To be fair I didn't think the pictures were great either, but it helps illustrate the ridiculousness of doing a song to promote commercial whaling.
Plus (with all sincerity) you're more than welcome to find your own 'comedic imagery' and put together a video with it (I have the sound file if you want it)
