Yeah, that's the best part. I think overall working on a commercial whaling ship would be more hard work then I'd be willing to do on a daily basis, but it would almost be worth it to have the chance to be the guy manning the extreme water blaster to fend of attacking hippies.
I find whaling pretty disgusting and unnecessary, but there's something about this that gets the Schadenfreude sense tingling. Maybe it's because the bat boat dipshits don't even seem to notice they're on a collision course until about 2 seconds before they get hit.
That was coming from the Japanese ship. That's the LRAD, or the Long Range Acoustic Device. It's a military-grade sonic weapon that reaches the same decible level as a jet engine going off next to your ear. It's been an effective tool against sea pirates for the past few years. Lately, there have been reports of Japanese whaling vessels using them against Greenpeace.
Imagine somebody pointing one of those at you! Apparently a whaling vessel pointed it at a news helicopter awhile back and the pilot nearly lost control and crashed into the ocean.
They keep blasting them even after running them over. The sound that last burst makes when it passes the wing was perfect. I think it sounded something like "PFWSSHHHHFUCKYOUSHHHHH."
