I know it's late, but it's up ok?!?

Anywho, this was taken inside the movie theater while we were waiting for Harry Potter to start, so yes, I'm very aware that the picture quality sucks and you can't see anyone.

Fun Facts:
~Norway and Iceland commercially hunt whales.
~Japan has been whaling since the 12th century.
~In 2010, hair samples from 1137 residents of Taiji, Wakayama (Japan) were tested by the National Institute for Minamata disease. From the total population, 182 Taiji residents who were found with extremely high mercury levels underwent further medical testing to check for symptoms of mercury poisoning. None of the Taiji residents displayed any of the traditional symptoms of mercury poisoning, according to the Institute.owever, Japan's National Institute of Population and Social Security Research reports that the mortality rate for Taiji and nearby Koazagawa, where dolphin meat is also consumed, is over 50% higher than the rate for similarly-sized villages throughout Japan, though no correlation between mortality rate and causal factor is implied in the report.The chief of the NIMD, Misugisato Kōji, said, "We presume that the high mercury concentrations are due to the intake of dolphin and whale meat. There were not any particular cases of damaged health, but seeing as how there were some especially high concentration levels found, we would like to continue conducting surveys here."

  • I hate whale wars because it makes japanese people look evil so whenever a person who sees whale wars sees a japanese person they're like "OMG U SHULD NAWT KELLL WEHLLZ!!!" and their like "Lol O.o"

  • @sorryimsogreat2

    so thats why they are so delicious! i mean really, if people didnt like those brain retarding materials so much there wouldnt be a need for those drug dealers. that and fast food

  • @320602

    From what I've heard they taste like brain retarding material (no, that's not just an insult, that's 100% true, look it up).

  • @sorryimsogreat2

    i agree with some of what you say and would fully support it....if whales didnt taste so delicious. ^^

  • 1) So a drug dealer has a job, but that doesn't mean we should let them

    2) International waters is considered government controlled seas?

    3) They don't hunt twice as many whales, last year they weren't even able to hunt half their quota, and they have a quota. The whalers complain about sea shepherd keeping them from whaling.

    4) Japan has reported that the whaling industry is about to collapse from bankruptcy.

  • I swear I almost had an aneurysm doing that rant lol

  • "I bet they taste delicious!" It's probably closer to bacon. or manatee blubber.

  • so like.... we were waiting for Harry Potter to come on, and....
