I LOVE watching Whale Wars. It is one of the funniest shows on TV
today. It reminds me of what you would get if the Keystone Kops and
Animal House had a baby. The crew has no idea what they are doing. The
crew can NEVER remember to put the phone in the inflatable. They
forget to turn on the phone so the captain can't communicate with them.
They have all of this expensive equipment, and completely inexperienced
volunteers trying to use it, so they end up breaking it.

I couldn't have said it better - what a bunch of maroons..

The thing is, you can't help but get sucked into watching - it's like
waiting for "The Big One" at Daytona - you just know something is
going to happen that not only defies all safety rules and procedures,
but will eventually end up with somebody getting killed. Last night was
really funny - the "Captain" is sound asleep while
there is an emergency going on and the dumbass First Mate has no clue
as to what to do - they go wake up the "Captain" and he says - "Handle
it the best you can".

Some Captain. :)

Then one of the Bridge Officers steps up, takes charge and makes a
decision to do a rescue search by grid square and after the boat is
recovered is demoted to - I don't know, deck hand or something because
the other Bridge Officers were ****ed - but they couldn't do anything,
the Captain didn't do anything and four of their members were lost.

Oh yeah - the radios. Do they ever use the radios? Do they even know
how to turn them on? Or remember to take them?

It's a freak show of the best kind - the dumb leading the dumber.

I'll bet they have the audience in mind when they plan out the show,
right?

Save your *so* witty remarks for the jingles you write.
