I read this story in the guardian to-day:

Some things are beyond parody and I think this is one of them. I cannot understand the mindset that would lead someone to carry out such actions, and think they were doing "right" in some way.

complete and utter idiots, they probably think it's hilarious that they've done it too.

It's like crustacean greenpeace? Odd... There are other things, I think, to get worked-up about. Are they gonna start flinging red tartar sauce at people enjoying a lobster-roll? I wonder if they have t-shirts. I'd love to get one that had a picture of a menacing-looking lobster-fisherman with a big X through his face.

I tried to do something similar at a cookout my parents had when I was 7 or so. The problem was that there was no ocean near by to free the lobsters in.

Fly my lobsters fly! to Freedom!!! oh, wait......

Drop 'em in the toilet tank? That's a class practical joke. Just imagine that! Somebody's taking a poo, and from behind them comes a clickity-clackety rustling in the water. They open up the cover, and there's a big mangy lobster hanging out. If they commented on it, you could play totally ignorant... "Why the fuck would a lobster be in the toilet tank?"

As bog-related pranx go, it's not as good as stretching cling film over the toilet bowl.

Also, unless your toilet runs on salt water, there's going to be one dead pongy lobster in there very quickly.

Do toilets on boats run on salt water? I can't see any reason for them not to, it's not like anyone's going to drinking from them or bathing in them ('cept the lobster).

Depending on the boat, I think small ones would certainly be chemical ones that need emptying - wouldn't there be laws about dumping raw sewage into the sea?

'Maritime warriors?' hilarious!!

Seriously, though, their hearts were in the right plce. It IS a bit savage, boiling these creatures alive, no?

Yeah, but that's no reason to start breaking pots.

If they come up with a string of Stadium House anthems then I'll stop eating lobster.

A few years ago there was a similar group operating just outside of Washington, DC. Except they would go around to Chinese and seafood restaurants that had tanks of live lobsters, buy the lobsters, and then take them to the nearest saltwater to release them. Considering what these places charge for lobster, this group must have spent a lot of money to make its point.
