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. "

Parent is not a troll, green peace, peta and the like are very much terrorist but because they are "saveing" fuzzy animals and forests no one calls them on it.

Bad form Hemos

Nothing like supporting a bunch of terrorists. Next I guess it'll be the wacky hijinx of al quida that we'll be commenting on. Really Hemos, bad form for posting this.

In other news, I think the Salt & Pepper squid from T&S Seafood sounds good for lunch today...

Greenpeace sucks. I agree with some of what they want to accomplish, but their eco-terrorist tactics make me ill.

"I love how everyone is willing to cry "hypocrisy" the minute someone doesn't 100% practice what they preach. It's called practicality"

So how much "practicality" does Greepeace allow whalers, or people who wear fur, or other groups they disagree with?

And by the way, it can be called practicality and hypocrisy at the same time. They aren't mutually exclusive.

One question, you should be able to answer. Are the Greenpeace boats runnig Biodiesel? If yes, then bully, if no, then you need to shut the fuck up. There's nothing impractical about putting a different fuel in the tank.
