Ya gotta hand it to jellyfish: For basically being a gelatinous conglomeration of nematocysts and ganglia, they sure know how to f*** s*** up. After getting all wicked on an Irish salmon farm earlier this month, wrecking their shizz to the tune of $2 million, they've decided to let Japan know who's ocean it really is. Giant jellyfish, some as large as 450 lbs and six feet in diameter, have invaded the coasts of Japan, clogging fishing nets, stinging fools, and generally treating the land of the rising sun like its bitch. Blame for the jellies rise could include global warming, overfishing, dropping oxygen levels in the ocean or, like everything, the Chinese. The Wall Street Journal's got video of the nastiest east-side gang since the Crips in action. Look out for the Japanese researcher who has to be "very careful" to not get jellyfish goo in his eye. These guys don't stand a chance — jellies on the east siiiiyeeeeed!
