Saving the F*cking Whales?

The above pictured books I bought on whales I am either reading now, or am yet to read, although I have read Maddox's tongue-in-cheek 'F*ck Whales' chapter (well, I hope it's written in tongue-in-cheek) from his book 'F*ck Whales', where he writes,
"If a whale fulfills its lot in life, it will likely end up on a beach, where it will spend its time rotting under the sun, emanating a waft of pungent sea-funk that will serve only to ruin beach outings for months to come (Fig. 1)" 

That reminds me of a movie I saw recently that revolved around a dead beached whale -
"Sirens of the Sea" World and Coasting with Archetypes?

The dead beached whale from the movie 'Swinging Safari'

Whales always seemed to be a big thing in the media throughout history, but probably none more so than today, and this morning I listened to this 'Big Ideas' podcast with Micheline Jenner (who I met down in Byron Bay at the BWF) and Phillip Hoare, who sounds like a fan of 'Moby Dick', one of the books I have become becalmed in at the moment.
Great podcast and I had a whale of a time listening to it, and you can too by clicking on this link -
Saving the whale
"Last week the International Whaling Commission rejected Japan's proposal to lift the thirty-year ban on commercial whaling.
Even under the present regime, Japan, Iceland and Norway continue to hunt for whales.
This conversation between a marine biologist and a writer with a passion for Moby Dick looks at our changing view of whales.

And f*ck Japan, Iceland and Norway I say and save the f*cking whales;-)

Although, going back 50 years Australia was in the same boat, too.

F*cking good book, too.
