[Didn’t see video] How is someone who decided to become Shamu for a day not safe for work? Youtube flagged it as “inappropriate.” Is it a furry fetish thing or something along those lines (okay whales aren’t furry but they are animals)? ---

I think they flagged it because after the person puts on the suit, he grabs an inflatable whale and humps it. Or tries to anyway. ---

In all of human history, there was an infinitesimally narrow window of a few decades, during which it was possible to adapt readily available technology such as a large killer whale pool toy and a vacuum cleaner to fulfill an idiosyncratic personal fantasy of dressing in an inflatable whale suit and humping other inflatable whale pool toys; yet technology had not advanced to the point where it was a trivial matter to record such an accomplishment and distribute the video worldwide before thinking better of the idea. This guy barely missed that window. ---
