TOKYO, Japan (Reuters) -- A slimy jellyfish weighing as much as a sumo wrestler has Japan's fishing industry in the grip of its poisonous tentacles.

That's just fuc[/i]king gross. That's REALLY the mental image I want when I think about swimming/diving/any body of water.

I half expected the Jellyfish to be wearing a loincloth.

On a serious note, that thing is nasty looking. I surf and sometimes see jellyfish in the water. Thank Bob they aren't this size.

Now they just need to give it a flashy name like Godzilla, Rodan, or Mothra and film a bunch of movies where people run away from it screaming.

Bonus points if it can shoot a beam of light.

Seaside communities in Japan have tried to capitalize on the menace by developing novel jellyfish dishes from tofu to ice cream, but for some reason the recipes have failed to take off.


Jellyfish ice cream?!? <puke> And I thought it was bad enough someone makes garlic ice cream for every Gilroy Garlic Festival.

I stand corrected...apparently that job is already taken.

From an Amazon review of the movie:

Quote:
This alien being/ship is known as Orga, and it goes through several phases. First it starts out as a particularly feminine looking saucer.


How the fu[/i]ck do you make a saucer feminine? Make it fly around while talking on a cell phone?

Quote:
Then it transforms, for about thirty seconds, into a large jellyfish. This scene is so short and irrelevant to the movie that it seems like something was cut. Finally, Orga turns into a big guy in a rubber suit. And then we're back to the Godzilla movies from the 80s, where guys in suits slap each other silly until one of them falls down.


There's no emoticon to accurately display how hard I was laughing when I read this.

Maybe if Japan went back to its yellow roots, God wouldn't hate them so much and the jellyfish would leave.

It'll be bad when a species of jellyfish evolves that will be capable and willing to eat human beings.


Oh, and on the subject of how gross it is to eat them. I will tell you that asians will pretty much eat anything they pull out of the water.

Even a shoe? I challange you good sir. Let's round up a buncha asians, have some divers sit in the ocean hidden, and make the asians fish and the divers attack the shoes to the end of the lines and see if they eat it.
