Reply #90: I have no respect for the Steve Irwin or its crew

[Godhumor]

As some others have said the show was incredibly damning towards them. Other than the lack of training, intelligence or even awareness of what to do on the water there were so many other problems.

- I was incredibly annoyed at how happy the crew seemed to be at the prospect of being "martyred" to make a statement

- Spinning incidents to look like innocent victims (Throwing sticky stink bombs at the whalers and reacting to "assault" when the whaler responded with flashbangs after warning that they would retaliate.

- The utterly ridiculous "shooting" incident. I will never take a sea Shepherd press release at face value due to that incident.

- The absolute willingness to push volunteers into dangerous situations they are untrained for (goes with the martyr thing)

- The ending interviews from the season finale struck me as a lot closer to brainwashing and blind hero worship then rational thought. It was disturbingly cult-like.

There has to be better people and organizations to be the face on ending whaling then these fools.
