You know how much I love everything that lives in the ocean?



I'm sorry. I tricked all of you into coming to my blog where you thought I would post a funny story about something stupid I did, but instead I'm posting a not funny story about something stupid I did. I watched The Cove, which in and of itself isn't stupid. But I watched it alone and shortly before bed despite my better judgment, and that was. If any of you has seen it, you know what I'm talking about. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, allow me to ruin the rest of your day. The Cove is a documentary about a horribly cruel dolphin slaughter that takes place seven months out of every year in Japan. They kill 23,000. And they sell the meat for human consumption despite toxic levels of mercury. Sea World sucks, too. I won't go into any more detail at the moment because it will send me into another fit of rage, but I think you get the point.

With all of that said, you have to watch it. You can call me a bleeding-heart, tree-hugging liberal all day. I don't really care. I just want you to watch this movie and sign the petition. The latter is super easy. The former is not unless you have no soul. It's truly, truly heartbreaking, make no mistake-- but as hard as it was to see, I'm glad I watched it. The more people who know about it, the more likely some change will be enacted.

Okay, I'm done. I'll try to do something ridiculous today that I can tell you about later. Shouldn't be too difficult.
