Nachimir Posted November 29, 2007 Green peace have been having a vote on what to name a whale. All of the shortlisted names are typical and crap for a whale, except one http://vote.greenpeace.org/11/12/results Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mel Posted November 30, 2007 That one is obviously going to win. Will they honor the great democracy that is the internet and name the whale that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted November 30, 2007 If they don't call it Mister Splashy Pants, I'm going to eat it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted November 30, 2007 Mr. Splashy Pants is superior, but Moya would have been excellent and nerdy too; after the whaleships from Farscape Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miffy495 Posted November 30, 2007 Man, much as the campaigners for Greenpeace bug the hell out of me, I kinda really want that button. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted November 30, 2007 I want to set that button on fire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted November 30, 2007 "Due to popular demand, the voting has been extended until the 7th of December 2007 at 17:00 Amsterdam time." It is entirely possible that the forces of crapness could result in a rubbish whale moniker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanJW Posted November 30, 2007 Since when are polls subject to popular demand (other than the result I mean)? Or are they merely extending it in the hope that a different name will win? It's Blue Peter all over again dammit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted December 12, 2007 Well it won: http://www.greenpeace.org/international/campaigns/oceans/whaling/great-whale-trail/savesplashy The name may have harpooned the subsequent petition though PETITION TEXT: To the Japanese Fisheries Agency, I want you to promise that you will NOT kill Mister Splashy Pants and his friends Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted December 14, 2007 Yeah, I just caved and ordered the buttons. On the plus side, they should look awesome on my schoolbag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
