So it’s good to raise awareness of this stuff anyway, and be sure your audience knows what it’s called because some people travel, and they might go to China or Japan and see this on the menu and not know what it is. Forewarned is forearmed, etc.

I mean, God forbid any of us spoiled Americans should ever have to see anything yucky. Not like people in other parts of the world don’t have to face such things, quite against their will in most cases, every single day.

Jimmy–Those office notes remind me of this site that’s all about passive-aggressive letters… what was it called… I don’t know but I think the folks at I Can Has Cheezburger put it together. (Who else? LOL)

The video was taken in a restaurant in China. Chinese restaurant owners and patrons do not care one bit what you think of their eating habits. The Japanese, BTW, also serve live fish.

Really, I know I am going to come off as a wild-eyed tree-hugging member of PETA. I am neither, but truly, Jimmy, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

How can you put such a horrible video of gross animal torture on a blog entitled “Fun-Filled Friday”? Is this how you amuse yourself? Honestly, I never took you to be this type of person, and really, I still don’t, but how you can spread this disgusting trash is beyond me.

When those who do this sort of thing see their videos spread about the community, that is just encouragement for them to do more. Please don’t, PLEASE don’t encourage this!

It may be a while before I can sleep well after having seen even a few moments of that horrendous video.

I’m glad you’re outraged, gharkness. That’s why I posted the video because I was repulsed by something like this and I said as much in my commentary about it. I think it’s educational to show things like this when they happen because people should be aware of what is happening. Direct your anger and frustration towards those entities who would do something so barbaric…not me. THANKS for your comments.

That fish is the grossest, cruelest thing I ever want to see, and all I did was look at that picture and listen as J watched it. Why??? Why would one want to do such a thing??

However, may prove useful. If I equate carbs with that poor fish then I will never eat another one again! Turns my stomach something terrible.

Dang, Jimmy, all the PETA animal cruelty videos didn’t make me give up meat, but that live fried fish video may just do it. That’s disgusting!

I’m not giving up meat, but that kind of treatment to a fish is cruelty at its very worst!
