O.K, so we just finished a post about why direct action campaigns against cultural food items are most often ineffective.

Then there's the curious case of this food item which, by the looks of things, is allowing the blowfish population off the coast of Japan to remain intact:

Blowfish testicles have left seven Japanese ill, one critically, renewing public fears over the dangerous delicacy.The group ate raw meat and baked testes of blowfish - known in Japan as fugu - at an upscale restaurant on Monday in Tsuruoka, an old castle town 350 kilometres north of Tokyo.

Great White Hunters Wins Award!?

We covered these guys a few weeks ago, as a fluff piece. As in "Check out the Noobs who are catching white sharks for sport-complete with a beer holder-mounted to a roof-mounted to a fishing chair...on a truck".

Today thanks to Chum Slick we found out this film, and we use that term in a lightest refrain, has won an actual award. Which leads us to our Sex in the City-esq question of the week.

Could be the stubby holder, must be the stubby holder.

Shark Attack Cuppies? Yup!

Something to consider "Ms Martha of the Easy Bake Oven".

We found these on the Internet so you know they be tasty. Try them out at your Superbowl party next to the following items:

1. Anti-Sharks Fin Carrot Cake Log

2. Sustainable Shark Diving Tall Boys (with real diver/shark action)

3. Three Layer NGO "Local Shark Initiative" Dip

See? You can make a difference with just a handful of cuppies and a twisted sense on humor.
