Now all we've got is a bunch of Japanese nationalists who take the side that all this video is is a bunch of foreigners breaking laws and slandering an industry, with the intention of shedding light on a group of people (westerners) who aren't the ones who can even solve the problem.

Ummm... Im a "Western tree hugger" who is appalled at Japans hunting of Dolphins yet I dont think "those damn Japanese".
I happen to think the Cove is an interesting movie... a little biased but hardly offensive. I actually went to see it with a Japanese girl when I was in NZ and she wasnt offended by it (Im currently living in Japan).
How about you check your facts before you start talking crap.
