From the Seattle Times:
The attention-hungry whale created a sensation in the small town, where he showed up at the local dock after separating from his birth pod, perhaps as they migrated north from Washington's San Juan Islands. He quickly became a nuisance as he bumped against boats, trailed fishermen and even pushed one boat away from shore when its occupants tried to paddle in. Two people were prosecuted for petting and harassing the animal, and others reportedly tried to pour beer in his blowhole and brush his teeth.
Italics mine, you weird-ass motherfuckers. You see a whale and the first thing you think of is "Hmmmm....Maybe what he REALLY needs is some Rolling Rock!! C'mere, lil' Orca...."
(The one about brushing its teeth is almost as bad, nearly--do whales HAVE teeth? I mean, there's nothing they need to CHEW, is there?)
I'm just really disturbed by this, on some very fundamental level I can't even begin to explain.
