 Whale killing cartoon |  Apparently, the whale and dolphin conservation society made an educational cartoon about whale killing in the Faroe Islands back in 1989. Anthony Hopkins narrates how the islanders gleefully torture these poor, screaming mammals to death, after which they are left to rot.
Seeing this made me think how easy it is to be taken in by propaganda. Had I not been native to the Faroe Islands I doubt I would ever question the validity of such a movie.
have a look for yourself. |

You have got to be kidding!
I seriously tought Anthony Hopkins had more brains than this. My respect for the man just vanished completely.
Check facts, before going head first into the crapper, please. |

Eg sá hendan filmin í Kommunuskúlanum í byrjanini av 90'unum. Tá helt eg at hann fór at blíva gloymdur beinan vegin tí at hann er so misvísandi. Guess I was wrong. |

Hann ER gloymdur... Bara tí onkur hevur postað hann á YouTube merkir ikki at øll verðin er á gosi. Ongin sum hevur nakað at siga her í verðini hyggur eftir YouTube (except for you guys, of course).
Which makes this news irrelevant, and OLD! 17 yrs FFS! |

Til Vuz
1: Hann ER IKKI gloymdur. Um hann var so var hann ikki postaður á YouTube.
2: Eingin hevur sagt at øll verðin er á gosi.
3: Milliónir av fólki hyggur at YouTube hvønn dag. Onkur av teimum mann hava okkurt at siga.
4: If you want to talk about what is news and what isn't then please post in the thread "What is newsworthy?" which you have started yourself. Besides, this was on http://www.portal.fo/ so it is news to some.
5: Please stop trolling posts like you are doing here, it is getting annoying. |

Hann var postaður á YouTube fyri 18 døgum síðani av einum fýri sum er interessaður í animatión, pga. animatiónsstílinum í filminum. Hann hevur onki við the society at gera og letst at vera líkaglaður við innihaldinum í filminum. 9(!) fólk hava skrivað kommentar til filmin, alt føroyingar, og flestu aftaná at portalurin bar "tíðindini". Ein leiting á news.google.com avdúkar at altjóða fjølmiðlar ikki hyggja eftir YouTube, ella eisini eru líkaglaðir.
Annars startaði eg ikki tráðin "What is newsworthy?", og seriøst, tað er also ikki trolling at eg eina einastu ferð kommenteri til eitt news item at eg ikki haldi tað er news. Tað er ikki sum um at eg klagi yvir hvørt tað einasta innslagið sum ikki fellir í mín smakk. Faktisk havi eg sagt at mær dámar væl tey tíðindini sum longu hava verið. |

Hattar seinna innleggið var fínt, Vuz. Legg merki til munin á teimum báðum innleggunum og royn at skriva soleiðis í framtíðini.
Og tú hevur rætt, tú byrjaði ikki handan tráðin. Tað sær eyguni hjá mær eru blivin verri á gamalsaldrinum. |

Didn't know it was on portal.fo when I posted it.
Just because something is 17 years old it can still be news. As I mentioned above, I think it is interesting because of how effectively it distorts the reality of whale killing.
I don't mind at all that vuz is critical of what's posted, in fact I encourage it. That's the reason for newsitems anyways; to get a debate going, and not become the next reuters. |

Debate inducing non-news news items actually fall within my own criteria of what (I think) is newsworthy, as stated under the aforementioned thread...
My first comment was actually my input to the debate; I think this is a closed and forgotten issue (sadly (not that the film has been forgotten, obviously, but the issue itself)). I guess T is right that I should have framed my critique as in my second comment. It was probably the latter half of my first comment to which offense was taken, and rightly so. I shall try to refrain from trolling, even on purpose  |
