Whale-Sized Marshmallows Deployed to Thwart Japanese Whalers
Just Born — the makers of Marshmallow Peeps — says they’ll be producing whale-shaped, and whale-sized, Marshmallow Peeps in an effort to end Japanese whaling.
The Peep-maker said the joint effort is between Darryl Hannah, The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and Greenpeace, and that they are uniting under the moniker PEEP: People for Everything and Everyone on the Planet.
PEEP will be using the marshmallow whale Peeps as decoys, hopefully tricking Japanese whalers into harpooning those instead of cute and cuddly whales. If successful, PEEP will look into other decoy opportunities. Baby seal Peeps are under strong consideration, especially with Canada’s seal hunt underway.
PEEP is Darryl Hannah’s brainchild.
Each Easter, Hannah and fellow gal-pal Drew Barrymore get together for a ritual Spring Cleaning. The tradition involves naming and nuking [microwaving] Marshmallow Peeps until they explode. The Peeps usually don names of prominent conservatives and members of the GOP. Last year when the Rush Limbaugh Peep kept getting bigger and fatter, and just wouldn’t die…Hannah had an idea.
The former mermaid had this to say, “Last Easter, after the Rush Limbaugh Peep broke Drew’s microwave, we joked…what if we covertly replaced prominent members of the GOP with Marshmallow Peeps. Like a McCain McPeep? So we actually tried making a few, but it just didn’t work out.”
“At first we tried making a Karl Rove Peep, but the mold kept turning out like that Emperor guy from Star Wars [the originals, not those crappy sequels],” she laughed. “The GOPeeps just weren’t working, it was really hard to get them right, and someone kept eating the Sarah Palin one!”
She said it was her work on Splash that gave her the idea of whale Peeps.
One obstacle, and the reason it took a year to develop the whale-sized Peeps, is that Peeps aren’t veggie friendly. “We wanted Greenpeace on our side.” Hannah said. “The last thing you wanna do is piss off a bunch of vegans from Greenpeace,” she warned.
Captain Paul Watson, founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, said, “We will start deploying the whale Peeps when the ship leaves port next.” This is expected to happen sometime in June.
The whale Peeps will come in three flavors: pink, yellow and krill.

Outstanding! Nice to see someone is doing something to help the whales. I think all Japanese whaling vessels should be SUNK!

LOL @ some people actually taking this seriously, you know it is a good Aprils Fool’s joke when at least 50% of people think it is real.
Hopefully this is an April Fools joke. all reality… animals will eat the peeps which cant be good for any digestive tract. for all those “enviromentalist” heres a heads up- that would be a waste of money, and pollute the environment. Has anyone even studied the effect of a marsh mallow in salt water?

Good April Fool’s joke! Btw PEEP would be Daryl Hannah’s “brainchild” not the other way around.

RETARDED
um, if they catch one of these things won’t the just release it and go on to get a real whale? I have no idea how this is supposed to help.
“OH LOOKS LIKE WE CAUGHT A GIANT MARSHMALLOW”
“OH ALRIGHT THEN PACK ER UP LETS GO HOME”
lame
It’s ok to kill cows because we breed them to be eaten…we do not breed whales! Enough said?
Kevin: whale hunting is a problem because 1) it’s illegal because 2) all the great whales were hunted to near extinction so they hunt the smallest of the great whales, the minke whale, for no reason other than propping up a failing industry that has no actual market demand behind it and 3) the whale industry has shown clear intentions to use the guise of conducting research to worm their way back into whaling fin and humpbacks, which are still greatly endangered due to low populations. Also, just because one works to save the whales doesn’t mean it’s ok to kill cows.
