  8. Cloral says:

    This story makes no sense. Since when do divers hunt for large marine mammals?

    • Sheik Yerbouti says:

      Spearfishing, yes. This, no.

      It’s entirely possible that some aspiring “journalist” heard an offhand facetious remark and took it literally.

  9. Itsmehhh says:

    poor whale.

  10. Loz100 says:

    That’s from the London Metro isn’t it? I’m sure I saw that the other day on the train…and lol’d :D

    • Izzy says:

      It was in all the Metros, not just the London edition! I love the ‘and finally…’ bits they do at the end of the world news summary. Most of them should end up on Failblog!

  11. Slimfast says:

    HAHAHAHAHA, Love it :)

  12. steeleye5 says:

  15. TLK says:

    My Aunt, who used to weight 400 lbs, fell on me as a child while I was in the shallow end of a swimming pool. She got stuck and I was being forced underwater by her bulk. It was scary.

    • BleepBloop says:

      And from that day forward, I’ve been sailing the oceans of the world in search of that… monster. I thought I had her, but it was only Maja Georgi.

  16. bob says:

    I saw it in the papers in Montenegro while I was there… Scary that I was swimming on the beach near that incident.

  21. Norway and Japan. says:

    FYI, whale meat is delicious.

  22. Kent says:

    Notice how nobody makes a peep about the nationality of the people involved in this, because it’s not the US?

    Imagine all the people that would be saying “Only in America! hahaha dumb fat yanks durr hurr durr” if this occurred in the US instead of Europe.

    The double-standards that form the foundation anti-Americanism are nothing short of a mental disorder. People have an entirely different set of mental processes that govern how they interpret any subject the moment they think the US is involved. The motivation is not actually anything about the US, the motivation is people WANTING to believe things about the US.

    If it happens in America, anti-American drones revert to their programming and start bashing the US and say it can only happen in the US because of whatever negative trait of humanity that they want to believe is exclusive to the US.

    If it happens literally ANYWHERE ELSE on the planet, they apply zero political relevance to the topic. Since the people aren’t Americans, the predetermined focus of scorn and derision of retarded anti-Americans in Europe and Canada, there’s no incentive to insult them and resort to mental gymnastics in order to create a blanket indictment of the entire US.

    • pixie says:

      Get off your high horse. You are clearly anti-anything not American. Learn to take a joke. Not EVERYBODY who says “oh look at those dumb Americans” actually means it. Go crawl back into your troll-cave that is your mother’s basement. The US is not the centre of the universe, as it’s failure of a banking system has clearly shown.
      Before you call me an “anti-American”, maybe think that perhaps I have a grandmother who was born in NY state, and happened to be very intelligent (intelligent enough to go to a very prestigious, though Canadian, university for chemistry in the 1940′s). You’d be saying I’m anti-my grandma. My grandma’s the coolest 85 y.o lady I know. Don’t tell me I’m supposed to hate my grandma because of the country she was born in, because I know enough Americans (more than just my grandma) and obviously enough Canadians to know we’re pretty much the same if we shut our mouths.

      • Kent says:

        LOL Get off your high horse you delusional Canadian.

        “The US is not the centre of the universe, as it’s failure of a banking system has clearly shown.”

        That doesn’t even make sense. The funny thing is, our “failure” of a banking system caused a global economic meltdown. So your own comment actually disproves the premise behind it, as you made it.

        Canadians and Americans are not the same. Canadians are a cheap, watered-down, dull, inferior version of Americans. You have to lie to yourselves to help you cope with that. It’s funny how you Canadians all say the same things, you’ve all been programmed with the same talking points. You’re constantly hearing in your media that you’re outperforming the US economically, but they don’t give you the facts they just talk about banks.

        Here’s some fun facts for you, which you obviously didn’t know. Your economic is actually worse than the US economy. Your recession was deeper, lasted longer, and your recovery has been less robust. You’ve declined more and grown less than the US over the past 3 years. Your debt as a % of GDP is higher. Your real unemployment rate is higher. Canadian household debt is higher as well.

        The only thing that kept Canada from imploding is commodity markets. You didn’t perform well economically, you just had primary industry to fall back on, while your manufacturing and service sectors declined at twice the rate that they did in the US.

        But yeah, keep living your little Canadian lie with your artificial pride. Did you know that your government actually requires your media to meet a quota of pro-Canadian content? The absurd, retarded things you Canadians say is a result of that.

        • Anon says:

          We still kick your ass at hockey.

          • TheHuckster says:

            Well played, Anon.

            If I had any internets to award you, I would award you 1 internets.

          • Kent says:

            Not really. How many Stanley Cups have Canadian teams had compared to American teams?

            Funny, you won one game out of two in the Olympics and you Canadians were dancing in the streets and crying. Over one single event of the Olympics. That’s how desperate you are for pride. You beat the US at a game that is your number 1 sport but is only like the 5th most popular sport in the US, and you pretended like you actually achieved something. Never mind the fact that in those same Olympics the US beat you in overall medal count. Not to mention that in that same sport in professional leagues, the US dominates you.

            Not to mention that winning a single hockey game is not an achievement of a nation. The US landed a man on the moon when Canada couldn’t even build a refrigerator.

            The funny thing is though… Americans didn’t party as hard after landing a man on the moon, you know the most momentous achievement of our species, as you Canadians did when you beat the US in a hockey game.

            You have the most epic inferiority complex ever. If Canada beat the US in peanut production in one year, you’d party.

            • Anon says:

              Pants shouldn’t talk to their wearers like that.

              • Kent says:

                Leeches (Canadians) shouldn’t talk to their hosts (Americans) like that.

                • Anon says:

                  Well you’re quite the clever one. You got us, we’re leeches all right. We’re not the typical kind of leeches though, we’re actually from a planet far out near the Eagle Nebula. We started watching Earth approximately 2 million years ago, where we found a bizarre class of Homo Erectus that was far heavier and bigoted against its counterparts. We knew this particular race was highly competitive and compared to the others was the most likely to create advanced technology like fast food restaurants, and would eventually elongate its lifespan with new and innovative (albeit expensive due to lack of good healthcare plans) medical surgeries like gastric bypass.
                  We then, therefore, after taking in these observations, abducted a few of the newly bipedal apes and did many experiments. Much to our disappointment, we realized that they became more ignorant and imbecilic over time, and at that present time, were too clever for us and would realize they were becoming our hosts.

                  And so my species waited a few million years (give or take) and returned to planet Earth. There we found that your kind had immensely lowered its functioning brain power to that of say, comparative-wise, the child of a 4 year old boy who’s jealous of an older sibling that is in every way better than said 4 year old child.
                  Our first step was to create coloured money and claim that we were a commonwealth nation of Britain. The “commonwealth nation of Britain” ruse was to lower your guard and ease your qualms as to our spontaneous arrival; and the colours of the money kept you distracted while we sucked your blood for its life-sustaining properties.
                  We also let you win a few hockey games, because we realized that, even for your race, you were noticing how prominently awesome we were at everything. Your race would have a tantrum if you didn’t think you owned the world anymore, so we put a few Canadians in America so they could invent things, and therefore allow every American sitting on their couch to think that they themselves are great because someone else from their country amounted to something.
                  But s**t, it seems as though you’ve got us figured out. I’ll have to inform the mother ship.

                  P.S. Sorry if Earth gets destroyed.

        • Jamie says:

          Americans are fat and the avrg IQ of America is 20pts lower than it’s in West Europe if u have to believe the studies of Joran van der Sloot the 2.05 meter tall beloved Psychopath from the Netherlands.
          And I believe him ^^ since nobody ever talks like this IRL ur just trying to look smart on teh internetz LOLZ!

          • robert ot says:

            i’m sorry folks I personally apologize for kent,he’s one of the special people here (rightwingers) hes anger is unfounded and should be not be taken seriously.

          • Kent says:

            It’s funny how you just make nonsense up.

            The average IQ of the US is the same as western Europe. 20 points lower?

            It’s funny how anti-American idiots always, always base their views on lies. When their lies get disproved, they just make up new ones.

        • Onasariel says:

          People like you are the reason that people always say “only in America” and why people hate America. You seem to be a hypocrite, you’re programmed yourself. Go die in a ditch and stop giving America a bad name. I’ve met some very nice Americans, but people like you are just pathetic scum.

    • Jana says:

      Dumb montenegrans.. (there, you happy?)

  23. Gorgon Medusa says:

    Apocryphal story is apocryphal.

  25. D.Sharp says:

    Definition of Canada:

    Someone opened up a country and nobody came.

  29. Lyrtsch says:

  30. sciencequeen says:

    This is one out of a very, very select few fails in which I actually feel sorry for one of those involved. And yet I still find myself laughing.

      Sincerely,
      Canada.
