Enormous whale takes kayakers for a ride

July 24, 2014 by Andrew Leave a Comment

A father and daughter were so enthralled by the sight of two huge whales basking near the surface that they allowed themselves to get very close on their little plastic kayak.

You can see what happens next for yourself.

Killer Whales chase a boat

May 8, 2013 by Andrew Leave a Comment

This incredible video shows a pod or orca, aka killer whales, chasing the boat like playful dolphins.

I’m not clear why orca would act this way. They’re smart enough to have fun and enjoy a race so perhaps that’s all that was going on. In any case the video does a great job at showing these majestic but dangerous swimmers in the wild.

Spinning razorback whale

What’s your view? Would you have liked to be one of those divers or are you glad that you were not?

Groupon mocks Tibet then has to pull super expensive Super Bowl ad

February 9, 2011 by Andrew Leave a Comment

The group saving site Groupon paid big bucks for a series of adverts that premiered during the Super Bowl. The ads were about “saving the money” and Groupon thought it would be a wise marketing strategy to compare that to saving something else.

For example, there’s a “saving the whales” ad that featured Cuba Gooding Jr. Here it is:
