The Most Pointless Fight On Youtube

A couple of news stories on the decimation of the Tasmanian Devil population through cancer duel me to youtube the little beasts and eventually led me to a video titled: Animal Face-Off: Bear v Tiger - a CGI video made for a Discovery program.



I couldn't endure watching the whole video so I scrolled down to the comments, and boy was I in for a surprise. There are 11,256 comments to the video and more than a few exchanges that go like this:

Shyntaghar
Oh my god. Another disappointing computer animated fight scene. Study the damn tigers man, a siberian tiger, white or not, destroys a grizzly bear. It's nearly as large, just as strong, and a helluva lot faster. Go back to the books man, atleast the animation is decent, 'cause the outcomes are false.


Rexzer
Er, talk about going back to the books. A grizzly bear can weigh up to 1,500lbs, stand up to 8ft, and has a bite force of 1,200lbs...

rezxer its not a frikkin grizzley its a Siberian Brown Bear...etc, etc.

A few comments later there is this exchange:

......

These idiots kept at it for a while but I just couldn't take it any more and just had to give up. Now I'm pretty used to reading really inane sexist/racist/bigoted comments on youtube but these comments just take the cake. Why the hell would anyone care about which animal would win a fight, especially when said fight exists only in the imagination of a lazy (possibly stoned) producer at the Discovery Channel?

I would say that this is the greatest use of the internet. The ability to say all of those things that you would never dream of saying to anyone in real life, you can say to anyone who has irritated you in any way. What is ever worse is the fact that quite literally anyone could be writing this, from the corporate CEO to the pathetic 12 year-old.

Ahsan said...

Awesome post. I too am a tiger fan -- I think in real life a tiger would be too quick for a bear and could attack it from various angles.

Tazeen said...

Grant,

you probably live in a more civilized world, where I live, any one can call you anything the without much provacation and people will actually tolerate it for road rage or something like it ...

On another, I wonder if CEO's commenting on Youtube videos is the reason we are in recession ...

Tigers kick ass. Bears are gay ass fucktards with a fuck crust and turd topping :D

zeyd said...

Whatever.

Bears fuck up pansy ass tigers. Tigers are just retarded loners with no life. At least bears like to sleep and kill fucktard tigers.

Bears 4eva!

the lahore zoo has just imprisoned several white tigers. they have no bears that they managed to catch. i think this settles the debate once and for all mothafuckars fucktards shitlickers ahmed qureshi zaid hamid etc etc

Ahsan said...

KK:

Just because humans can catch tigers better than bears doesn't mean that bears are stronger than tigers. You have to ask yourself what would happen in a one-on-one encounter: the tiger would completely annihilate the bear. No doubt in mind.

Anonymous said...

hahaha..i'm waiting for KK and Ahsan to reproduce those inane youtube threads...aks,if you're too busy to watch a 2min video,why would you waste your time going through all of those comments?!

Augustus Fink-Nottle said...

It depends on which bear you put up against the tiger. Polar bears would annihilate anything in their path. 10-12 feet in height, just imagine the sheer power generated.

Ahsan said...

AFN:

Please. I was watching Animal Planet a couple of days ago, and they had this video of this mother polar bear looking for food for her two babies. Anyway, long story short, she ended up on this island where there were a bunch of walruses or otters or something. And it couldn't even kill one! The walruses/otters formed a protective ring around their offspring, and the polar bear couldn't break through.

I repeat: a tiger would be too quick. It wouldn't even be a fair fight. I think only rhino or bull types could take a tiger, no one else.

Ahsan said...

FYI, to finish the story from Animal Planet above, the polar bear died of starvation.

zeyd said...

Two things about that story:

1) Chick polar bears are like half the size of dudes. Man's world and all that. A male polar bear would destroy most animals. I'm guessing only an elephant or rhino could match up.

2) Dude they live in the fuckin north pole. You're not exactly spoiled for choice when it comes to filling your stomach. Oh and there's the whole global warming thingy as well. Was the polar stranded on a glacier?

To sum up:

Bears fuck up pansy ass tigers. Tigers are just retarded loners with no life. At least bears like to sleep and kill fucktard tigers.

Bears 4eva!
