I report on a dumb story of a rotting whale explosion in Taiwan and it looks like I may get more visitors than on any other single day since SARS. Of course, traffic can be very fickle, and it tends to disappear as quickly as it arrives….
In response to request for a bigger photo of the sickening mess, here you go. Click to enlarge the picture. Yes, that is the entire whale carcass on the tractor trailer in the background. As one commenter asked, why didn’t they enshroud the thing in plastic wrap before moving it through the city?
Here’s the whale carcass prior to — I think — its decision to disembowel itself on the busy Taiwan street.
Update: Well it was fun for about 15 hours. Traffic now drifting back to normal….

Hey Drew, he’s just happy to see you!
Dodo, thanks so much for the video link. My brother just told me a few months ago that he and some friends had cut high school(in California) and drove up to Oregon to see this event, and how they ran for their lives when the blubber started to fly!
I’m sending him the link.

No kidding.
That is totally gross, but what is even more gross is that some of that carnage ended up on someone’s dinner plate later that night.
Yuck!

Anyone who thinks that Americans are not smarter than any other country, you can kiss my uncle sam loving ass. who else would find a way to not only clean up most of the mess but also solve the ever growing bird hunger phenomonon that obviously you guys have no idea about. At least in America we dont have gay diseases like SARS…what kind of shit is that? fuck you asian bastards for even trying to bring that shit here… i understand there is a chance that you were attempting to spread the disease to Canada to try to eraticate the ever growing problem of Canadians which i greatly appriciate, but you stupid chink bitches missed, so go fuck yourselves and open your stupid slanted chink eyes you 2 inch endowed cock sucking gooks.

I just wanted to apologize to everyone for having to read the idiotic, uneducated commentary posted by “Clever American”, who is obviously not very clever at all. I do not know this individual, but I resent the way he/she is choosing to represent our country on this forum. Please do not interpret his/her comments as a relfection of our entire country. “Canadian” is correct, most of us would never post such comments.

All you assholes who think clever american is stupid can kiss my fat white freedom loving american ass, and to all you Americans who think clever american isn’t cool then you guys are not even fucking Americans….at all!!! America is so fucking awsome it just makes me want to crap my red white and blue pants. By the way we dont even give a flying fuck about this damn whale…all I care about is you fuckers recognizing the fact that were better, we have hotter babes, and our militar could beat the shit out of your military any day. Go the fuck back to canadia. Were the best. Period.

Acutally, “Scott,” I am an American and I happen to think that there are some extremely attractive asian women, some more so than American females. And our military may be reputed as the most powerful in the world, but in reality a war in Asia would definetely not be a shoe-in victory for the United States- take Vietnam for example (duh). Fortunately, only your redneck, Ford driving companions consider you to be an actual American, while the rest of the population knows that you have nothing in common with what this country represents.
I hope I don’t see you on the streets cause I’ll have to run circles around you with my Mercedes SL 500, mmmmmkay..
