10 Million Dongs Can't Hold Us Back
A large White Shark was netted and killed last week off Quy Nhon City, Vietnam. Officials from the province of Binh Dinh put a 10 Million Dong bounty on a Shark that is suspected in jamming ten people this year off Quy Nhon City. Before you get excited, realize that 10 Million Dong is something like $500 bucks, which is less than the fine a jackass would get for killing a White Shark in the United States. Of course no one involved in this whole third world keystone cops caper can prove that it was a White Shark or Sharks that jammed the 10 people. Officials have already ruled this particular Shark out because its size and teeth do not match the wounds of the jammed individuals. Of course it is hard to say if any of the officials or "scientists" in Binh Dinh know what the hell they are talking about anyway:
Dr. Vo Si Tuan, director of the Nha Trang Oceanography Institute, said that the seized shark belongs to the black shark species.

What the hell is a Black Shark?
Since this poor Shark was not the offender--although he was chopped up and sold to a trader ghoul for 30 million dong, a market has now been set for White Shark. Great, we will now get to see the heretofore unknown Vietnamese White Shark population raped by the ignorant and dong happy.

But if you prefer alphabet soup, try this google translated piece of hysterics:

The UN, ADB and WB Dong happy rape & pillage fishery programs were initiated approx 10 years ago with funding success measured in the 5 years it took to over-exploit every conceivable (and inconceivable) fishery. Just add 2,000 years of unpunctuated war victories, Jackson-Vanik starvation, forced isolationism, Jean-Jacques' whispering 'Puisque Tu Pars' in your mothers ear in front of the kids and the hubby, Hearts & Minds, Russo-Kaffkaesque economics & govt planning, ... and you have a beautiful recipe for cooking anything that crawls, slithers, squeals, wriggles, squirms or hops. Where else are Sipunculids a delicacy or a guy with two dogs is referred to as a rancher?
"Moreover, sharks with very sharp and pointed teeth may be thought as Evil Genius in ocean." says little man in green uniform with deep pockets.

As always, you offer some of the best insights...and gonzo writing...about the sweaty part of the world.
So you personally know Dr. Vo Si Tuan? I am guessing he was misquoted brutally then.

Don't tell me you all weren't thinking it. No takers on a Sisqo reference? Anyone?
Vo Si Tuan is wearing a white hat and sitting high in the saddle. There are a few and I do mean a very few of the 'real' old school battlers up against the powers that be 'totally wrecking the place'. Vo Quy who established the redlist, the late Le Cao Dai on persistent inorganics and the amazing Gen. 'Tear it down, tear it all down' Giap, a super progressive. Go figure?!
Happy Tet Madness, my lil maneaters
