Matt Stone and Trey Parker are at it again. In the 13th season of South Park, the episode entitled ‘Whale Whores’ takes on the Sea Shepperd Society and attacks their leader Paul Watson with hilarious satire. The episode which aired in October 2009, ridicules the Animal Planet reality TV show ‘Whale Wars’ which follows the Sea Shepperd’s hilarious and failed attempts to stop Japanese Whaling in the Southern Ocean near Antarctica. For those who haven’t scene the actual show its highlights include the overweight and incompetent Paul Watson, leading a crew of urban environmentalists who have volunteered to venture to one of the harshest ocean environments known to man, in an inadequate vessel with no sea experience.

Matt and Trey play upon the already hilarious circumstances that make the real show a laughing stock, as the 5th grade character Stan Marsh joins the Sea Shepperd’s only to find them throwing butter and injuring themselves for the media. After Paul Watson is harpooned by the Japanese, mistaking his overly large size for that of a whale, Stan takes over the leaderless and directionless crew by actually committing the first act which actually puts a halt to the Japanese whaling.

Some of the shows highlights include:

• A typical South Park version of Larry King who called the show ‘Whale Wars’ “Nothing but incompetent vegan pussies doing absolutely nothing and trying to turn it into drama” and Paul Watson a “an unorganized incompetent media whore who thought lying to everyone was okay as long as it served his cause.”
• The appearance of Sig Hansen and his fishing vessel The Northwestern from the Discovery Channel show ‘Deadliest Catch”.
• A picture of Paul Watson on Board the Sea Shepperd vessel with the word “Turd” painted over his face.
• A montage of newspapers which headlined:
  • “‘Whale Wars’ Gets Better. Things Actually Happen Now.”
  • “Whale Wars Ratings Skyrocket. New Captain Not A Fat Liar Like The Old One.”
  • “Whale Wars New Cast Member Turns Vegan Pussies Into Actual Pirates”
