"Killer" killer whale back at SeaWorld show.



Well, looks like Tilikum the "killer" whale is back to work at Seaworld, and I couldn't be happier. Not because I think that the whale is rehabilitated and will never hurt another human, but because this whale will most definitely kill again, and the people at Seaworld deserve a violent death at the hands of their own captive sealife. Did you know that in addition to the death of his trainer last year, Tilikum also killed two people in the 90's? These were no accidents, this whale is a murderer.

The crowds that come to see Tilikum are aware of this too. And deep down they're hoping for some kind of epic tragedy to happen at the show. Sure, it would be pretty horrific for kids to witness Tilikum kill again, but it will be a memory that will last a lifetime. And aren't memories that last a lifetime what Seaworld is all about? I went to Seaworld as a kid and I don't remember a damn thing, except for thinking it was weird that they sold fish sandwiches there. But if a trainer was attacked and killed by a whale, you bet your ass I'd remember that. Watching whales jump in the air gets old after a while, but aqua-violence is as popular as ever.
