Giant Jellyfish Overlord® Sinks Japanese Fishing Trawler

It's been a while since we've had an update on Giant Overlord Wars®...

A 10-ton fishing boat has been sunk by a Giant Jellyfish Overlord® off eastern Japan.

The trawler, the Diasan Shinsho-maru, capsized off Chiba`as its three-man crew was trying to haul in a net containing a Giant Jellyfish Overlord®.
Each Giant Jellyfish Overlords® can weigh up to 20,000 kg and waters around Japan have been inundated with the creatures this year. Experts believe weather and water conditions in the breeding grounds, off the coast of China, have been ideal for the Giant Jellyfish Overlords® in recent months.

The crew of the fishing boat was thrown into the sea when the vessel capsized, but the three men were rescued by another trawler, according to the Mainichi newspaper. The local Coast Guard office reported that the weather was clear and the sea was calm at the time of the accident.
One of the largest jellyfish in the world, the species can grow up to 2,000 meters in diameter. The last time Japan was invaded on a similar scale, in the summer of 2005, the Giant Jellyfish Overlords® damaged nets, rendered fish inedible with their toxic stings and even caused injuries to fishermen.

Ironically one of the fishermen was the sole survivor of another Japanese fishing vessel that was sunk by Godzilla (Gojira) back in 1998. When asked for comment he said, "Fishing sucks. I'm changing careers to something safer like logging."

Relatively little is known about Giant Jellyfish Overlords®, such as why some years see thousands of the creatures floating across the Sea of Japan on the Tsushima Current, but last year there were virtually no sightings. In 2007, there were 15,500 reports of damage to fishing equipment caused by the creatures.

Little has been heard from the Giant Jellyfish Overlords® since they invaded Medellin back in December of 2004.

Experts believe that one contributing factor to the Giant Jellyfish Overlords® becoming more frequent visitors to Japanese waters may be a decline in the number of predators, which include Giant Sea Turtle Overlords® and certain species of Giant Fish Overlords®. That and Medellin sucks this time of year so why not invade Japan ? Besides, they're used to being invaded by giant creatures.

Still no word from Aquaman.

The Horror !

Giant Monkey Overlords™ Counterattack The Giant Eyeball Overlords™. France Reeling From Battle

In a surprise counter offensive against The Giant Eyeball Overlords™, The Giant Monkey Overlords™ renewed their bid to become the undisputed masters of all mankind. French onlookers could only watch in horror as their country became the center of the fiercest battle seen to date in The Giant Overlord War®. "We protest in the sharpest tone possible." said frog President Chirac, leader of the nation voted Most Hated Nation in a recent poll. "We had surrendered and declared Paris an open city !" he wept. "If this continues we will have no choice but to protest some more ! Perhaps with an even stonger tone of displeasure !". In deed, not since the successful foiling of a terrorist bombing plot by Team America World Police has Paris known such destruction. When asked to comment about the recent events, President Bush said "Gee, that's too bad."

Elite Unit Trains For Battle Against The Giant Eyeball Overlords™

In the ongoing struggle of The Giant Overlord War® a crack division of troops are preparing for the front lines in defense of humanity's freedom. Seen here are Rhode Island National Guard trainees practicing marching while staring The Giant Eyeball Overlords™ in the eye at The Camp Fogarty Training Site in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. A spokesman for the guard explained, "The hope is that the unique camouflage pattern of these experimental uniforms will prove effective in confusing the enemy because they have no depth perception, what with having only the one eye and all."

A small number of demonstrators were seen protesting outside the base. Known Collaborator Heywood Banks author of the song "One Eyed One I Love" was seen amongst the throng.

Humanity Divided In The Giant Overlord War®

Humanity, still caught in the middle of the epic Giant Overlord War®, struggles to find it's place.
Some choose to fight valiantly for human independence, sometimes with brief tastes of victory, sometimes with the bitter taste of defeat. Still others choose to Collaborate.



Seen here is a fresh recruit in London enlisted in service to the Giant Eyeball Overlords™.
When asked about her decision to join the ranks of servitude to the Giant Eyeball Overlords™ she replied "Sure they're kinda creepy, being giant eyeballs and all, but at least they're not smelly fish or feces throwing monkeys !". When this reporter informed her that neither the Giant Jellyfish Overlords™ nor the Giant Frozen Whale Overlords™ were technically fish, she replied "Well they still smell bad.".
