The editors of the IRT need to lay off the cracking-ice track...it's worse than the laugh track of an early-90's sitcom.
Scene: a graceful snowshoe hare gingerly scampers through the snow
SFX: Popping ice out of an ice cube tray, pretzel sticks being snapped, bricks being dropped onto granite counter tops.

The Sea Shepherd claimed someone on the crew of the Nisshin Maru shot Captain Watson during a confrontation in 2008 with the MV Steve Irwin off Antarctica during the taping of an episode of Whale Wars. The alleged shooting event was first realized when Watson suddenly complained of chest pain and found a piece of metal lodged in his bullet proof vest. The Nisshin Maru crew claimed that no shots were fired and released their own video to corroborate their claim. However, this video did not acount for the whereabouts of all Nisshin Maru crew members at all times during the encounter with the Steve Irwin. A short-lived investigation into the incident discovered that Watson's bullet proof vest did indeed hold a small caliber round. A forensic analysis of the bullet hole found powder residue consistent with a close-range weapon discharge. Further examination of the fibers around the hole indicated that the bullet hole had been present long before the encounter at sea. The investigation was dropped after numerous attempts to clarify the allegations resulted in no further contact with Watson.

Has this episode aired yet? LOL...in case anyone doubts the level of douchery we're dealing with.
