Lionel Messi, the Argentinian "best football player in the world", was asked the other day what his favourite insect was.
His answer: a monkey.
Says it all doesn't it............
Japan has been paying countries bribes in the form of prostitutes and cash to buy their votes for carrying out whaling. How nice. Not for the whales though. Why does it have to be done? They say" for research purposes ". Pray tell me what they are doing? The synthetics made today for all sorts of things, which before used to come from these magnificent mammmals, are hundreds of times better, so where's the necessity? As whale meat is primarily blubber, i.e. fat, I can't imagine it's very tasty, rather like eating congealed paste, I'd imagine. So, no nutrients there, well, what does it have? exactly nothing for us, a lot for the whale....
Quote "In addition to storing energy, blubber can also accumulate toxic contaminants. If a whale or seal ingests pollutants, those pollutants may be stored in the blubber layer, where they can harm the animal as it uses those energy reserves. " Sounds rather tasty too...
It is also useful having it, I suppose if you are going to dive to the same depths these mammals do, or swim at temperatures of 40F or 4C, however, I can't see many people doing this for fun.
Also " Recent studies suggest that blubber contains naturally occurring PCBs, carcinogens which damage the human nervous, immune and reproductive systems". HHMMM, doesn't sound too good either but it would account for a lot of weird people wandering about. ( See the photos taken of people in Walmart). So WTF are they being killed for? Do the Japanese wish to make their countrymen into some race of Mutants, like The X Men? If they'd turn one out like Hugh Jackman, I might agree, whiskers and all, but I don't think so.
Sweden also will vote for it being allowed. Now the Swedes have just gone down a lot in my eyes,(as have many other countries). I like their Gustavian style of interior design and most of their food is really very tasty, except for Surstromming, a fermented herring which stinks like nothing you can possibly imagine, rather like the poor old Blobfish in the beauty stakes, something to be avoided at all costs, and I had a couple of super dishy Swedish boyfriends too, but, that doesn't make up for the fact, that this sucks. In fact all the countries which are going to re-instate whaling are complete bloody idiots.
Just to end my Sunday rant, copied from a headline this morning: "Fans' fury as ITV's HD coverage misses England's first World Cup goal... and switches to a car advert instead". How absolutely pathetic. Get a life.
Good, isn't it...
