Free-Spirited Isabel Lucas Cries For The Whales

Isabel Lucas, formerly Home & Away’s resident hippie, Tasha, has told of her tears at witnessing the slaughter of whales while in Japan on a conservationist mission.

Since leaving “The Bay”, Lucas has devoted much of her time to environmental campaigning, and was in Japan to capture video footage of the cull.

(Incidentally, Lucas seems to shed tears at the drop of a hat; we once spotted her crying about her pasta bake at Thresherman’s Bakery in Carlton, and there were no whales in sight.)

This is all endlessly admirable but we couldn’t help stifling a laugh when we reached this part of the story:

Today , Lucas will lead another protest at Bondi Beach and attempt to create the world’s largest human humpback whale using bodies on the sand.

The current record was set by 2500 school children in Los Angeles in May this year.

Look, we pay our Greenpeace donations and listen to ‘The Songs Of The Dolphins’ as much as the next free-spirited cheesecloth-wearer, but really.

Don’t these people realise it’s stuff like pretending to be a giant humpback whale made of children that leaves them open to ridicule by the Matt Stones and Trey Parkers of the world?

Don’t nuke our imagination, braaaa!
