Giant Freakin' Jellyfish!

Giant freakin' jellyfish:

THEY are called echizen kurage and they sound like monsters from the trashier reaches of Japanese science fiction.

They are 6ft wide and weigh 450lb (200kg), with countless poisonous tentacles, they have drifted across the void to terrorise the people of Japan. Vast armadas of the slimy horrors have cut off the country’s food supply. As soon as one is killed more appear to take its place.

Finally, the quarrelsome governments of the region are banding together to unite against the enemy.

Echizen kurage is not an extraterrestrial invader, but a giant jellyfish that is devastating the livelihoods of fishermen in the Sea of Japan. Nomura’s jellyfish, as it is known in English, is the biggest creature of its kind off Japan and for reasons that remain mysterious its numbers have surged in the past few months.

The problem has become so serious that fishery officials from Japan, China and South Korea are to meet this month for a “jellyfish summit” to discuss strategies for dealing with the invasion. Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party has formed a jellyfish countermeasures committee and fishermen are at work on technology to keep the marauders out of their nets.

Giant. Freakin'. Jellyfish.

Thanks to isayalotofthings.

Strap on the air tanks; we're going to swim with the giant jelly fish.

I it is a sea creature, the Japanese will put it on the menu.

I blame the 3-quinuclidinyl benzillate. You don't expect me to believe those things are real, do you?

Isn't this a problem for Godzilla to handle? If not, then can't Ghidra or Rodan take care of business here?

Look the only know way to neutralize the Jellyfish is with the PeanutButter fish. They just stick together a make a tasty snack for schools of fish.

Well, at least now we know who/what killed the giant underwater scorpions.

Theres a epidode of the 60s sci fi series VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA which involved a giant jellyfish but the jellyfish on the show would make that one look like a minnow

> I blame global-warming.

If you follow the link, they already made that joke in the original article. Well, depending on what qualifies as a joke. You could say they were serious.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
