Everytime I look at it, it urks me.
Yes, I just made that word up. It's like 'irks', but I like it with a 'U' better.

Seriously, speaking of bubble-head, push aside those bowls of starch fin. Yes, you heard me, Starch fin. No, I didn't make a typo. Starch fin's soup.

Who needs to suffer the guilt of having killed 40 sharks just for that one table of guests at your wedding? Like HELLO, get with the programme people. Shark's fin is soo passe. Okay, maybe not to all. But if we all think that way, then we'd saved alot of sharks.

You may think, "what's her problem, it's just like killing any other animal. Besides it's a delicacy." Well delicacy, bearlicacy, fishlicacy, whatever. Sorry to burst your bubble DR/MR/MS/MRS, but your lil tasteless fish in oh-so-expensive soup is going extinct. Oh, no I didnt make that up. Both parts. But the fun part is the lil tasteless fish part. Yes, you nincumpoop, shark fins' meat is generally tasteless. Meaning, they have no taste. Meaning, the sharks have died for your (the evil pple) sadistic rituals, when all you're 'savouring' is starch, and well the other ingredients they plop into the soup to deceive you. Don't believe me?

"...But shark fins' vaunted unusual nutritional value turns out to be unfounded.
They are indeed rich in protein, but no more than meat, scientists say.
As for taste, the accompanying fancy ingredients are responsible for the coveted flavor of shark fin soup.
Many who have tasted plain shark fin say it is tasteless, like fine vermicelli. In fact, there are reports of dishonest restaurants substituting vermicelli for shark fin..." -(China Daily 05/21/2007 page4)

HAHA. In your face. And they would know because they're the largest consumers. The middle-class at least. Demand rate increasing by 5%. HELLO you china middle-class folks, not enough to go around LAH. 'China's nouveau riche shark fins are symbols of wealth and class.' Gasp. Shame on you. If you've got all that money to spend on 'tang hoon' meat, give it the poor, go shopping, adopt some kid, build your own vacation house in papue new guinea. Maybe, if i did this in chinese it'll get more attention. Damn it.

We all should have a deep veneration for sharks. They do not even compete with us, like who eats more humans, or who eats more sharks. Such humble creatures.

Well, if you're looking for a replacement for starch fin, go with arbutus. Don't know what that is? Well, get with the programme.
XXOO.
