Charlie the Tuna Killed By Japanese Fishing Boat
In the latest blow to environmental protection, famed public relations personality Charlie the Tuna was caught and killed by a Japanese fishing boat late last week.
According to StarKist company spokesman Chester Jacobs, “The loss of our company spokesman is a great travesty to the world of corporate imagery. We just hope that the Japanese industry will turn over the remains to his family for a proper burial. Or canning, we are still in talks with the estate.”
The Japanese fishing industry has stated that it was merely fishing within its territorial waters and the death of Charlie the Tuna was simply an excercise in capitalism.
The fish is expected to garner over $150,000 at auction.
