Greenpeace's Custom Underwater Giant-Squid-Cam
Seagull76 writes "Check out this 1 minute video with Greenpeace's underwater photo/videographer and deep sea toy specialist, Gavin Newman, aboard the Esperanza.
After months of confronting whalers and pirates, some might envy the crew aboard the next leg of Defending Our Oceans who are heading to the beautiful Azores in the mid-Atlantic. For this leg of the expedition, the Esperanza has been equipped with state of the art monitoring equipment, including a remote operating vehicle (ROV) which can shoot video down to a depth of 300m, and a drop camera capable of reaching depths of 1,000 metres - giant squid territory! The ship will become part of the ongoing University of the Azores research program intended to establish greater scientific knowledge of the importance of deep-sea habitats and marine life. "
Yeah, I 'might' envy the crew if I wanted to belong an eco-terrorist organization!
Oh dear God, "eco-terrorist" huh? I guess you're one of those people who believe pirating music (or smoking marijuana you grew in your own garden) funds terrorism, or pretty much any other knee-jerk response to something the current administration dislikes that's labelled terrorism.
If there's anything sadder then someone unfairly being labelled a terrorist, its the general public's willingness to repeat it ad-nauseum until everyone starts to accept it.
There are shills on slashdot. Apparently, I'm one of them.
The first link is a video of President Bush...
Oh....right - it is too. He just looks like a giant squid.
