Hey, welcome to the Blurt Blog!This is where I share a bunch of thoughts -- random stuff. You know, politics, music, YouTube, books, movies, you name it.
Except for Telletubbies. Telletubbies = off limits!
So my first thought?
Whales.
Yeah, whales.
You heard about that whale that jumped out of the water and landed on a sailboat, right?
Apparently some people have accused the couple on the boat of harassing the whale, and thus ticking it off.
Others insist the incident never happened, and the photo we saw all over the news was just some really good Photoshop finesse.
Well, if you watch the VIDEO (yes, there is a real video -- take that, Photoshop conspiracy theorists!), you’ll see the whale is a good hundred feet from the boat at the start.
How are you going to stand in a sailboat and harass a whale from a hundred feet away?
Seriously.
"HEY, YOU STUPID WHALE! YOUR MOM WEARS ARMY FLIPPERS!"
Maybe throw some rocks at it?
Wait, I know . . . They were using WHALE RACIAL SLURS!
What’s a derogatory term for a RIGHT WHALE? Rush Limbaugh?
Seriously, though, check out the photo at the top of the post. It's the picture of the whale “attacking” the boat.
Remove the boat, and what do you see?
A right whale. Breaching.
Like whales do -- ALL THE TIME.

But no -- the boaters couldn't possibly have been in the wrong place at the wrong time.
THEY WERE HARASSING THE WHALE!
Hello! Humans are inherently EVIL and STUPID and WANT to tick off something that weighs 40 TONS.
Give me a break.
Keep your shirt on, PETA.
Literally.
There are other dragons to slay.
Waitaminnit -- we gotta be nice to dragons, too?
Until next time, don’t annoy Rosie O’Donnell!
She could sink your boat.
