good news

japan has to stop murdering whales.

TOKYO — The decision to ban Japan’s annual whaling drive off Antarctica, handed down by the United Nations’ highest court on Monday, was a hard-won victory for conservationists who long argued that Tokyo’s whaling research was a cover for commercial whaling.

The ruling by the International Court of Justice in The Hague halts a Japanese program that has captured more than 10,000 minke and other whales in the Southern Ocean each year since 1988 in the name of biological research. (via)

With the recent news that Octavia Spencer has been cast in a remake of the Angela Lansbury classic Murder, She Wrote, there has been a dangerous and volatile increase in worldwide demand for the original series. It ran for 12 seasons from 1984 to 1996, but where can you find it? According to Jessica Fletcher expert carlygoogles, TV Land streams 5 episodes at a time online, and all of the DVDs are available through Netflix. That's great but the problem is some of us want to watch more than 5 episodes in a row and cancelled our Netflix DVD account. The only reasonable thing to do is to buy a loved one the complete DVD box set on amazon. Your loved one will be so happy.

omg look at this post

look at all that scribble-scrabble underneath my roommate's photo. 

paul watson is on the lam

“Captain Watson’s attorney reports he has left Germany,” said Susan Hartland, Administrative Director of Sea Shepherd. We have reason to believe from a reliable source that, once in Costa Rica, the Japanese Government may have sought extradition of Captain Watson to Japan to answer charges related to obstructing their illegal whaling activities in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. We have no further information and are not in touch with him. We will do our best to provide more details as we learn more. We will post any new information as it arrives and we are able to confirm its validity." via


Paul Watson, the captain from Whale Wars was arrested and escaped from Germany and now no one knows where he is and the Japanese whale industry is probably looking for him so they can turn him into an oil lamp or something.
