while i've never seen the Cove. i did see that footage when the director was on Nightline. They played the footage completely uncut. while i felt bad. another side of me was laughing thinking about the japanese dolphin slaughtering in South Park. "FUCK YOU WHALE, AND FUCK YOU DOLPHIN!!!"………..am i going to hell?

And hank_chinaski is the reason I am ashamed to be American.

The Cove was very sad but it's more about the town, history, and politics that surround the killings, as well as the sneaking in to plant cameras and the story of the lead protester. Watch it. The footage is pretty horrible but I feel like knowing it happens and my mental image of what goes on there is/was way worse than what you see. As I recall you mostly just see the water turn completely red.

That picture makes me so mad. It literally just pisses me off to the point, where words are thrown out the window, and I want to use fists to explain why.

Devin, seriously dude, watch THE COVE. There are some scenes in it that are hard to stomach, but it's a bravado piece of guerilla filmmaking/social activism. Hard to imagine some lone talkbacker will convince you to get around to it if the Oscar win didn't, but GET ON THAT SHIT!

I do not think anyone except the most wild eyed liberals will care about this movie. At some point they need to grow up and quit whinning about everything. Comment #3 Devin sold out a long long time ago.

Seriously the cove is bravado filmmaking?? Its propaganda tripe that only the most naive and simple minded will enjoy.

Haven't watched "The Cove" either. I like eating my Dolphin pizza without any guilt.

Funny, Liberals are constantly harping about science and Darwin and survival of the fittest, until they actually see survival of the fittest in action, then they start crying and say "even the not so fit should survive." Well, which one is it? Are humans a natural product of this earth? Didn't we evolve too? If so, then life's a bitch and mother nature is cold and unforgiving. Humans are natural beings, and hence, anything they do is natural. Somehow it is our fault we developed brains? I believe in Darwin, and I believe in survival of the fittest. Shame all the "science" minded Libs don't.

Most Americans seem to be just right of Genghis Kahn. You'd think there'd be unanimous agreement on this disaster.

#10 You demonstrate a poor and fucked up understanding of what survival of the fittest means. It is clear you use it as hollow and surface excuse to get away with acting selfish.
Nature is not a game of Halo. There is no winner when it comes to species extinction. Also Darwin doesn't need or want you to believe in him. He existed. Please don't confuse history and mythology.

The problem is that if we keep killing off species for no good reason, mother nature just might get some revenge on us. I should think we'd want to avoid any "survival of the fittest" situation in which we are no longer fit.

The Cove was terrible. It's a case of preaching to the choir. It fufills every cliche of "hippy conspiracy" and "omg they love animals more than humans + celebrities vs poor people". It's not that I disagree with their stance, but at least make an attempt to win over some people to the importance of your cause, and not simply circle jerk for an oscar.

Bitch all you want about the underhanded techniques of Michael Moore, but at least he's making an attempt at selling his ideaology.

Hey #12, so why don't you explain what survival of the fittest really means? Liberals are so funny, they get so bent out of shape if you take their little pet theories to their logical ends. Science is cold, religion is not. Truly religious people want to protect the environment and all God's creatures. Me, I don't believe in God, I believe in science, and science says some species will go extinct due to what another species does. That's the way of life for billions of years. Nothing selfish about it either, I have nothing to gain by species going extinct. How does it benefit me? Likewise, how does it benefit me if they don't go extinct? Pretty soon, we will go extinct as well, and we'll deserve it, for a "fitter" species took over. We are the ultimate creature that evolved on this planet, and as such, we're gonna fuck shit up, that's what the top of the food chain does. Again though, I love how Liberals pretend to pray at the altar of science while acting like we have to protect all God's creatures. Laughable how stupid some of you are.

I don't give a fuck about whales and dolphins. Do they pay my rent? Do they pay my medical bills? I would happily drop a nuclear bomb on Korea for eating dogs because dogs give me companionship. Whales and dolphins do squat for me. Fuck them.

Thank god we can all agree that these types of documentaries are crap. They only serve to get the hippies all riled up. Normal people know there are animals that will die off, just like they always have. Fuck this hollywood ultra pc nonsense!

HertLockur: You're confusing a description of what is with a description what ought to be.

This whole thing is bullshit. Boohoo a bird died. Yes its tragic. So is tens of Thousands of people who were put out of work by this disaster. Fisherman, shrimpers, oystermen, charter boat operators, oil rig workers, seafood packers, distributors and restaraunts, hotel workers, on and on and on. Why is the sympathy for these people not being to feed their families and keep their homes being heaped on the fucking wildlife?

Holy fucking shit. Can CHUD go back to not being popular again? I can only hope that the backwoods species isolationism on display in many of these comments is meant as irony. Regardless of how much you care about individual animals, to downplay the negative effect of other species' extinction on HUMANS is indescribably moronic.
