Honest Government Ad: Japan vs. Paul Watson ššÆšµ ā āWeāre trying to jail the fucking legend who stopped us from breaking the lawā

2 September 2024 (The Juice Media) ā Hello Iām from your local Governmentā¢ franchise with an update on All The Latest Bullshit.
Todayās update is brought to you by the Government of Japan.
Hello, Iām from the Government of Japan.
Where weāve issued a warrant for the arrest of Captain Paul Watson.
Wanted for the crime of being a fucking legend.
Remember that time commercial whaling was banned but we kept hunting whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary by saying āitās purely in the interests of scienceā?
Well, this fucking legend stopped us from murdering ā I mean āresearchingā ā a shit-ton of whales.
And as it turned out, he was upholding the law, coz the International Court of Justice and Australiaās federal court subsequently ruled that our whaling was illegal and told us to GTFO.
So did we go to jail for acting illegally?
Of course not, silly.

Instead, weāre trying to jail the fucking legend who stopped us from breaking the law.
Sure that might seem unjust.
But weāve seen other governments prosecuting fucking legends lately.
Like this one in Tasmania.
And these ones in Cambodia.
So we thought Japan should have a go at it too.
Weād like to thank the Danish government for arresting the fucking legend in Greenland.

Which is great timing, since he was on his way to intercept our new whale-killing machine on itās maiden voyage to hunt vulnerable fin whales.
Tak Tak Denmark, you can extradite him to Japan now.
Donāt worry, we only routinely violate our prisonersā human rights.
So thanks to our 99.9 percent conviction rate, heāll definitely die in jail.
We also want to thank our taxpayers for subsidising the dying whale industry. (Literally.)
Even though few of them eat whale.
Which is why we have to hire influencers to hawk it to them.
All to keep our mates in business at this joint.
One of our favourite sources of Amakudari positions for retiring officials.

I mean, sure whales are the foundation of an actual industry: WHALE-WATCHING. Which generates vast income for communities worldwide.
And sure their feces help feed the phytoplankton that sustains all marine life and produces half the planetās oxygen supply.
And sure theyāre our allies by capturing carbon and storing it for centuries when they die naturally and fall to the seafloor.
Unlike our Carbon Capture and Storage projects which capture fuck all.
But why invest in all that when we can kill whales and stick āem in a fucking vending machine. [more]
