    She's 51 years old.

    Newton's laws were going to catch up with her sooner or later.

    Well, that is what is funny - they shouldn't.

    I mean, they aren't much different than if Rosanne Barr or Oprah were wearing a low cut shirt and nobody wants to see that shit, either.....

    So, Tilly the serial killer is back performing at Sea World with three "murders" under his belt, and apparently drawing bigger crowds than ever. They're not allowing the trainers in the water with you, but you just know people are going there for the possible specter of another kill. I'm sure they think he will somehow come out of the water and drag a trainer in for another kill.

    But why did they return Tilly to the show? Well, it was because it was in the whale's best interest...


    And we think athletes get away with shit.

    Ah, the almighty dollar. More people through the gates to see a possible disaster means more revenue - even if it means putting a three-time "killer" whale back on display.

    Sick, sick stuff.

    Outside had a good article about this killer killer whale a few months ago.

    "Tilikum did not show any precursors to aggression," said Kelly Flaherty Clarke, curator of animal training at the theme park, who investigated the drowning.

    Yeah... other than having already killed two people. What could go wrong?

    They don't call them killers for nothing. But hey, the show must go on, right?

    Not for nothing, but the increase of mobile links on here drives me insane.
