Unfortunately, my DVR stopped right after the Japanese guy started to get all mad at chickens and cows at the end. Someone want to spoil it here? ---

The last shot is you see the Japanese running around saying, ā€œfuck you cowā€ and killing all the cows and chickens. Randy says, ā€œFinally, at least theyā€™re normal, like us.ā€ No, we were saying that we didnā€™t care about Wales, the country. ---

All is right in the world, because the Japanese just start killing cows and chickens all viciously like we do and the whales are left alone. ---

That was hilarious. A lot better then last weeks. Japanese PM: ā€œFucka You Dolphins! Fucka You Whales!ā€ I never realized that was a real show(Iā€™d heard of the most dangerous catch, but never watched it) until I saw this episode. ---

Yeah, _Whale Wars_ is a real show on Animal Planet. A couple of seasons ago Paul ā€˜Doucheā€™ Watson pretended heā€™d been shot by the Japanese, but that he was saved by is fortunately placed Earth Ranger Secret Agent badge. In truth, and as parodied in _South Park_, not much happens. They try to throw butyric acid (made from rancid butter) onto the Japanese ships. They boarded a Japanese ship and were taken prisoner, and used that to show how evil the Japanese are. Mostly the show is a display of the ineptitude of Watson and his crew. Itā€™s hilarious how stupid they can be! The first show, they managed to swamp an inflatable whilst launching it (not an easy thing to do, but they managed it). One of the crew dinged the helicopterā€™s rotor with a pole. Watson came up with a Secret Code Phrase to launch a prop-fouler attack (it was ā€˜Tora! Tora! Tora!ā€™ :rolleyes: ) and the inflatable-boat crew forgot what it meant. And you get to see what a megalomaniacal douche Paul Watson is. So I loved it in the Whale Whores where the headline read ā€˜Things Actually Happen Now!ā€™ and ā€˜New Captain Not a fat liar like the old oneā€™, and when Larry King says Paul Watson was ā€˜unorganised, incompetent media whore who thought that lying to everyone was OK as long as it served his causeā€™ and when the guest commentator called Watson a ā€˜smug, narcoleptic liar with no credibilityā€™. ---

Just got caught up on this one. Nice. Liked the image of the whale and dolphin in Enola Gay. Though technically it was a dolphin and dolphin since killer whales=dolphins. I feel so out of itā€“I had no idea that Poker Face was a Lady Gaga song and that there really was a show called Whale Wars. ---

Saw it last night, we roared! Best episode of South Park in a long time. I have and hate DirecTV DVR - it sucks shit through a tube. We got cut off right after the photoshopped Enola Gay. Thanks for the recap guys. ---
