In Defense of The Blobfish

Recent photographs of the exotic deepwater fish, the Blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus),have lately appeared on internet sources. The BADL objects to these photographs, which do not represent the true beauty and unique qualities of the Blobfish. The photographs, taken of a dead specimen of this noble species, in no way reflect the appearance of the living fish.

The BADL calls for an immediate removal of all such photographs from all media. They degrade the reputation of this esteemed member of the piscine genera. All such photographs should be replaced with the second photograph included with this press release. The new photograph depicts the Blobfish in its living, swimming state, and reflects its true beauty.

The BADL deplores the ridicule and calumny heaped upon the Blobfish by so many internet bloggers, who think nothing of the feelings of this peaceful and lovely creature. Please do the right thing if you are currently displaying the disrespectful photo of a Blobfish. Replace it forthwith with the included photo.
