You can't even imagine the fucking fever dream that whole thing was. I'm German and if I ever hear of that whale again I'll throw myself off my kitchen counter.

Im German and I never wanna hear of that Damm whale again
This whole discussion was so toxic in Germany and Split itself along Political Lines and became a Huge Part of the Culture war
We should have let it die on the beach naturally and then blown it up.
