Yamaha builds a gigantic fishtank on wheels

yamahatank.jpgThere are lucky fish out there, and then there are unlucky ones. The lucky ones swim wild and free, living until fishy old age takes them and they peacefully drift into coral reefs somewhere. The unlucky ones end up as sushi or, worse, in a can of tuna fish. Somewhere in the middle are the poor fish who are stuck in Yamaha's "SupaTanks," gigantic fishtanks that are rolled around in a bus-like vehicle.

Why do they do this? To show people how to fish. Yes, these poor suckers get caught twice. First from the ocean, then from their rolling sickmobile. "In full view of wide-eyed spectators, the fish can be seen stalking and attacking the lures cast by participants from the elevated ‘half-tinny’ casting platform complete with Yamaha four stroke outboard motor." That's all well and good if you're a fancy company trying to sell boating equipment, but why won't anybody think of the poor fish?
