Man, whales are jerks.
They're laughing in our faces because they know they're endangered and we can't kill them.

This whale may have thought the occupants of the sailboat were Japanese and so decided to attack.  Whales are pretty racist when you get to know them.

The humans deserved it. They didn't adhere to the nautical traffic signals that were clearly in whale song format.

Cuz they thought the people they tried to kill were Japanese and that's why they tried to kill 'em.  Cuz the Japanese hunt whales.  Like on that show on the TV.  It was a joke of sorts.  It assumed the reader understood the context.  Duh.

But why would...nevermind. I was going to say, "Why would they care if they were Japonais?" but it's a somewhat stupid question. And don't worry if I start spewing French.

South Park is probably past her bedtime... or she's not allowed to watch it being a kid and all.

South Park ain't the answer, though.  The Japanese actually kill whales and it's actually, in the real world, reported on annually at the least.  Heh.  Guess she don't watch the news or Animal Planet either.

She didn't know drugs could be made from nasal spray. I belive you consistently set your expectations of previous knowledge above what our bait-immitating friends believe to be desireable to their target audience.

You have to ask why? (Sorry, I barely remember any French at the moment. My fault for not continuing it last year, I suppose.)

Was it ever determined if typing in a non-english langauge was counted as "masking" by the powers that be?

Inconclusive.  But threads and posts have been deleted for being in a non-English language (I seem to remember a Spanish thread?).

It is not!

Indeed.

Wadn't me.  Could have been any whale and if I don't remember it, it didn't happen.

Yeah, I know its real, but I thought you were referring to South Park. But thinking about it, it was dolphins in South Park, so I'm just all kinds of wrong.

They killed whales in that SP ep, too.  Honestly, if it had been closer to when that ep aired, I'd likely have been thinking of it.  Right now, though, the new season of whale wars is on and so I occasionally check that out - to root against the stupids from Sea Shepard.  Yep.

I do think TA is right.  I expect far too much out of the young'ns.  Like, you know, common knowledge.

Oh, yeah. I forgot about the Whale Wars episode (of South Park). I was thinking of the episode when the Japanese attack Sea World because of the doctored picture of the atomic bombing.

And yeah, young'ns kind of suck.

Edit: (Which can be good sometimes... if you know what I mean...)

Yeah, I don't know what up with that. I must be getting forgetful in my old age.

And there doesn't need to be a goldomark take over to appreciate them little girls, not that I promote or participate in illegal activity.
