    They've gone and replaced the face of Birds Eye.

    Where once stood the salty and weathered (and somewhat randy) old face of the Captain, who represented the graft and grind of the fishing industry, there is now a retarded looking and horribly slothful polar bear.

    What the fcuk is wrong with people?

    Captain Birds Eye was caught out by the welfare. He was signing on, working for Birds Eye and double jobbing as Santa.

    They started posting about fish finger packaging on the Internet.

    After that it was all downhill.

    They replaced him with a young rugged handsome black haired stubble bearded captain for a while.

    He was WAY more peadophiley so they went back to the Santa guy.

    And yet despite this, a polar bear will never eat one in the wild.

    Strange really.

    Making polar bears out to be cute and cuddly is just irresponsible. Better the kids get fish fingered by the captain then killed and eaten by a ravenous polar bear.
