The second bonehead move is wearing his mask around his forehead like that. He'll lose it before too long...
 
Do you know how much real champagne costs? Please, this is so obviously a joke, the funny part is that people are going "omigod the poor fish!"

I seriously doubt its a joke. It was a Reuters news article. They dont joke about this kind of stuff. Just goes to show you that there are new morons every day.

If they stabbed it through the head with a knife and flung it onto the shore yelling "free shore lunch". It would have been even funnier, and the fish would still be just as dead.

All I have to say is it's a fish.

Some people need a reality check. The only outcry will be from PETA and other fringe groups. The press will print it only because there isn't a really juicy and bloody war or terrorist attack happening. What a bunch of lemmings!

Anwhere from about $20 to thousands a bottle. My personal favorite Perrier-Jouet, Fleur De Champagne goes for about a buck and a quarter.

However, the article, while using a misnomer in the process states that it was cheap Russian "champagne".
 
I have no problem with hunting, spearfishing, etc. But people who either perform or condone (read you) blatent cruelty to animals should really find out how it feels to be on the other side. I guess you would have been standing around cheering the guy who killed Dusty.

..read the article again folks. It was a bottle of "cheap Russian champagne" and the they found the fish "half dead".

I would be willing to bet cheap Russian champagne wouldn't set you back too much and a fish that was acting "half dead " probably wouldn't be too hard to catch and bring to the surface. It was a northern pike which means the water was probably pretty cold. Even healthy fish don't move very fast in really cold water unless it's really necessary... and as stated earlier, Reuters is a pretty damn reputable news source.

The press will print it only because there isn't a really juicy and bloody war or terrorist attack happening.

Actually this story came out on 1/8/04. The same day they reported a black hawk helicopter shot down in Iraq killing all on board. Nine soldiers, I believe, were killed. There are more news stories out there than blood and killing if you look for them. The internet is a great source of news for things going on in every corner of the earth (even though the earth is round)...Much beter source than watching CNN or Fox. I've found news articles on the internet before, reporting breaking news that CNN and Fox and the like didn't pick up until almost a week later. That's lousy reporting IMO.
Yeah, TV is about the worst place to get accurate news in a timely fashion..unless of course, it's something that is a ratings bonanza like the compound of a religious cult going up in flames and everybody inside getting burned alive...then you get to watch it in real time, boy howdy!

Ever notice how the female anchors on Fox news, all look like strippers or hookers or something, with all the plastic surgery and thick pouty lips with a gob of that thick, shiny, wet looking lipstick all over them? It's because TV news is not about reporting the news, it's about ratings. I get the bulk of my news from the internet. I find it to be a much more credible source for real news and not hyped up news.

Wow! did I overanalyze this or what? :confused:
 
Animal cruelty....please! I guess it's alright then to stick a hook in it's mouth, let it tire untill it can no longer fight, bring it into the boat and take a picture of it as a prize, let it asphyxiate until it dies, cut it up, cook it and eat it...but all of that isn't cruel cause it's fishing! Get over it.
